Course recommendations
The University of Amsterdam offers a wide range of (Master) courses in English. It therefore is a good place to study abroad, but it is not necessary to lear a total new language first.

Course recommendations
When I was there, international students didn´t have courses with local students. We now local students in parties or in meetings. But I would like more interaction with local people.

Personal comments
Fluency in English communication and writing skills were prerequisites for the MBA at the Universiteit van Amsterdam. Additionally, during the program, my confidence has grown concerning academic writing, comprehension and presentation skills. The everyday interaction with students and professors working on business case studies enhanced my ability to absorb, interpret and assess the most relevant information.

Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
I enjoy the independence an apartment gives. Also, staying close to campus allows me to meet other students while still having my own independent experience of the city.
