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 Information Studies: Data Science Track - Batch of 2020

4.1

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. The government provides subsidies on certain expenses. 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. 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.

MSc in Communication Science: Persuasive Communication - Batch of 2023

An enriching experience at the UoA.

Tips: There has been an assimilation with people of different cultures, and an introspective identity communion. The understanding of a bigger picture mentality when you interact with students from all lands and walks of life, one means that you learn more than ever. No scholarships availed.

Likes (Quality of faculty): Very approachable faculty with an extra effort to resolve difficulties. The teaching methodology was fool-proof, academic and meticulous focus on an analytical and research-based curriculum, leading to very investigative and intrinsic learning of concepts. Very diverse from all content.

MSc Artificial Intelligence - Batch of 2024

UvA is a very good research focused uni for AI with amazing profs and top notch course material.

Tips: Very good transition. Felt positive cultural shift. Your opinion is valued irrespective of your gender or race. UvA is very research-focused. With really hardworking students and professors. I love it here. Scholarship for UvA might be competitive and you require a good research profile for it.

Likes (Safety): Safety is not an issue at all. Amsterdam is generally an open welcoming city. And in university too you shall feel safe and accepted. Nobody treats you differently or in a racist manner. You are exposed to people from different backgrounds and cultures.

Dislikes (Post study jobs): Qualcomm, Booking. Com, ABN Amro, ING. are some of the places we get recruitment. Job roles such as machine learning engineer, data scientist. Package - 3k to 7k euros per month. Thesis fair is a good way to get connected to the industry. Good socially focused startups are there too. You can apply to companies outside Netherlands too.

Academic excellence and challenges: UvA experience

Tips: The country and particularly Amsterdam has a significant housing shortage. Securing affordable accommodation can be very challenging. The academic experience is great. All the courses are well designed and offer a challenging environment. The student life is terrific and the university is situated in close proximity to the central region making it accessible to all that Amsterdam has to offer.
