Master in Computer Science (Parallel Computing Systems) - Batch of 2029
4.0
The university has a rich heritage and stands for excellence.
Tips: Amsterdam is a fun and interesting place to explore. There are many museums to explore and with a museum card you can visit over 500 museums in the Netherlands. There are also many academic institutions in the Netherlands.
Likes (Indian Food): There are many Indian stores in Amsterdam due to the large Indian population and the prices are affordable. There are also many diverse food options available. I prefer cooking for myself as it is more affordable and there are good canteens at the university as well.
Dislikes (Public transportation): The campus is well connected to the city via trams and buses. It is affordable with the OV chip. Most people use separate cycle lanes. Hence it is a very good city in terms of transportation. Also it is easy to travel to nearby countries.

Master in Biomolecular Sciences - Batch of 2024
3.6
A Great Milestone to Achieve My Dreams
Tips: Moving abroad is honestly such a massive test of how independent you can actually be—you’ve got to be really on top of your own time and just open to a totally different vibe. When I first moved from India to Amsterdam for my Biomolecular Sciences degree at VU, it was such a mix of being super excited but also kind of overwhelmed by everything. The teaching style at Vrije Universiteit is way more focused on research and actually thinking for yourself instead of just memorizing stuff, which was a pretty big shift for me. Even things like the weather and the way people communicate took a bit of getting used to, but just hanging out with other international students made it way easier to settle in. I didn't actually get a scholarship myself, but they're definitely out there if your grades are solid. Honestly I'm glad I made the move as the education is top-tier and living in the Netherlands has given me so many cool opportunities in life sciences that I just wouldn't have found otherwise.
Likes (Internships): I went with a 4 for internships because, even though they're out there, trying to land one as an international student was honestly a bit of a nightmare. The uni didn't really give us much to go on—most of the work was just me hunting down companies and networking on my own, which got pretty overwhelming. They had some general stuff like career portals and CV workshops, but it wasn't specific enough for someone in Biotech or Molecular Biology, and they definitely didn't help with the whole sponsorship side of things. Most of what I saw was either too general or just admin work. Honestly, you can find a good spot, but don't expect the uni to do any of the heavy lifting for you—it's pretty much all on you.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): I gave it a 3 for job prospects because, honestly, it’s a bit of a mixed bag for international students in the Netherlands. Most local companies really prefer people who speak the language and already have the right permits, so it feels like a lot of doors are closed at first. But, there’s definitely a light at the end of the tunnel if you’re in stuff like IT, engineering, or biotech—places like Amsterdam and Leiden have a decent number of big firms that actually will sponsor your visa if you’ve got a STEM Master’s. You’ll mostly see roles for things like Lab Techs or Research Associates, and the pay usually starts around €2,500 to €3,500, which is okay but definitely depends on where you end up living. It’s an attractive place to work, for sure, but you really have to be smart about networking and targeting the right companies if you don't want to get stuck.
