Amazing course and great professors.

Tips: Coming from India where I felt the assignments were really easy and could be done in a day, it was a difficult transition because here it is difficult to complete the assignments in even a month. You need good background knowledge, and they aren't gonna spoon-feed or teach you everything from scratch. Before coming here I was told this master's study is going to be IIT level, and it is almost the same pressure. Europeans in general have far better coding skills than us, so it is a constant pressure to keep up with them too. I didn't get a scholarship but I have friends who did, they cover the entire tuition fee. The Netherlands also has a housing allowance, so the government gives back almost 30-40% of the rent each month to support internationally.

Likes (Quality of faculty): The teaching faculty here is really nice and helpful. They had a lot of knowledge about what they were teaching and very well-designed course structures. Mostly all the professors I had were European, but I did see a lot of Asian professors too. They curate the assignments really well so you get to learn a lot just from a single assignment.

MSc in Communication Science: Political Communication - Batch of 2024

Offered by University of Amsterdam

4.3

Quality education without any pressure.

Tips: I was awarded an Erasmus Mundus scholarship to attend the University of Amsterdam. I was happy with my university as it is the world's top communication college, and their quality of education is top-notch. I received a monthly allowance of 1000 Euros, which covered my tuition and health insurance. The university has an international crowd, which makes it easy to make new friends.

Likes (Safety): I felt safe walking around at night, even at 3 or 4 in the morning after student parties. The locality is pretty nice and safe, and the community functions on trust. This makes it easy to adjust to the campus culture.

Dislikes (Internships): I ended up getting an internship in Germany but not in the Netherlands, which was quite difficult. There are plenty of internships available, but you need to apply proactively. The competition is fierce, and internships are not easy to get. It requires careful planning.

Friendly people and great transportation facilities.

Tips: While there is indeed a cultural shift, people are friendly and will help you acclimate smoothly. Although I did not apply for a scholarship, they are available for students with a strong background. Additionally, the government provides subsidies on certain expenses. Overall, I was quite satisfied with the course, the university and the country.

Likes (Student Life): The University assists in finding student accommodation, which is generally safe and reliable. Public transport in the area is both excellent and secure, making it easy to get around. Amsterdam, being a popular tourist destination, benefits from significant government efforts to ensure the safety of both residents and expats.

Dislikes (Part time work): Due to the short duration of the course and the requirements to complete a thesis within 3 months, it is challenging to secure part-time roles like teaching assistantships. While managing a part-time job is possible, it largely depends on how well a student grasps the course material. Since the curriculum is less demanding, students generally have enough time to balance both work and academics. The primary obstacle in finding part-time work is the language requirement since most jobs require proficiency in Dutch.

BSc in Econometrics - Batch of 2027

Offered by University of Amsterdam

4.2

Embracing growth and balance in university life.

Tips: The course is challenging and requires a lot of self-discipline and time management. However, the faculty is great and very helpful, and there are lots of activities and events held on campus that you should take part in to understand the industry better. Make sure you're ready to put in the work and hours to really make the most of your course. But also make sure you maintain a work-life balance because Amsterdam is a great place to get to know yourself and develop as a person.

Good student life manageable with academics.

Tips: I am very satisfied with the university. There are fewer contact hours than I expected so there is a lot of pressure to complete things on your own. There are no scholarships available. Renting a bike is the most cost-effective method of travelling throughout the city.
