Hello everyone,  

The second semester has started and, while the weather in Amsterdam is still quite chilly, sun rays have been hitting the campus, making it come alive once again with students.

In this newsletter, we highlight upcoming application deadlines and events and inform you about a decision recently made by the Dutch government that has an impact on international student recruitment. We also point out some matters that are relevant to prospective students, such as student wellbeing at VU Amsterdam.

Feel free to reach out to your contact person at VU Amsterdam if you have any questions with regards to these subjects. 

Best wishes,

Natascha Zwaan, Sharon Feijen, Sylvia van Glabbeek and Katerina Makri

Universities asked to suspend active international student recruitment

Recently, there has been much discussion in parliament about the recruitment of international students by Dutch (public) institutions, particularly due to the housing situation in the country, i.e. the extreme difficulty in finding accommodation.

The ministry has asked that institutions take their public responsibility. Thus, most (public) institutions will not be participating in (large scale) recruitment events and will all be individually re-evaluating all other upcoming marketing activities, including the use of study choice platforms, agents and online campaigns in January, February and March 2023. Institutions differ in their approach, with some cancelling ads, reducing or stopping investments in study choice platforms and/or reassessing their agent portfolio to further limit their (active) recruitment.

Note that, although VU Amsterdam cannot actively recruit international students at the moment, we still more than welcome students to pursue their degrees at VU Amsterdam.

We hope and expect further information from Dutch government by the end of March that will provide guidance on our international marketing strategies from April onwards. If you have any questions about the situation, please do not hesitate to get in touch with your contact person at VU Amsterdam.
