Registering for VU & UvA courses as an AUC student

Both VU Amsterdam and the University of Amsterdam offer many courses that can be interesting for students to complement their studies at AUC. Depending on the courses they've already completed at AUC, their timetable and available seats in the desired off-campus course, AUC students can enrol in hundreds of courses that are taught in the other Bachelor programmes of the VU and the UvA. 

Honours students of the VU and UvA have the opportunity to take select elective courses in the Liberal Arts and Sciences programme at AUC. Before you register for an AUC course, please read the following information carefully.

List of courses offered at AUC for UvA/VU Honours Students 

You can find the complete list of courses offered at AUC that are open to current UvA/VU honours students on the Institute for Interdisciplinary Studies website below. 

AUC’s attendance policy

Most AUC courses are taught during the day and meet twice per week (1.5 hours per class). Attendance at AUC courses is mandatory and 75% class attendance is required for every course. You can find the full attendance policy in the Academic Standards and Procedures.

Course levels

All courses have a designated level, and some include prerequisites. AUC offers three levels of courses: 100, 200 and 300. 100-level courses are introductory, while 300-level courses are the most advanced and are typically taken in a student’s third and final year.

Prerequisites

Prerequisites are the entry requirements for a course. They refer to other AUC courses that students must have completed before registering for a certain course. Since you are not an AUC student, you likely will not have taken these specific courses.

Therefore, we ask you to read the prerequisite course descriptions carefully and assess whether you have the necessary background knowledge to follow the honours course you wish to take. You can find full course descriptions in the course catalogue. 

Limited number of places available

Please note that all honours courses have a limited number of places with only 25 students per course. This means that it is not possible to guarantee that you will have access to a certain course during a certain semester.
