Student Reviews
Representative reviews"A great decision"
Coming here has changed how I think. The best part: the teaching staff are genuinely world-class and accessible. If I'm honest, the timetable has some awkward 9am / Friday afternoon slots. On the city β housing is the one real problem: start looking months before arrival. Overall, if you're considering Pedagogical Sciences at VU - Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, I'd say go for it.
"Exceeded expectations"
This is the perfect place to study this subject. The best part: the course strikes a good balance between theory and practical application. If I'm honest, a few modules feel under-resourced compared to the flagship ones. On the city β everything works β public transport, cycling, healthcare, admin. Overall, if you're considering Pedagogical Sciences at VU - Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, I'd say go for it.
"Worth it overall"
Would I choose it again? Probably yes, with caveats. The best part: the teaching staff are genuinely world-class and accessible. If I'm honest, accommodation allocation was stressful in the first year. On the city β housing is the one real problem: start looking months before arrival. Overall, if you're considering Pedagogical Sciences at VU - Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, I'd say go for it.
