About Psychology at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam

Why do people lash out at relief workers during emergencies? How can you help someone who no longer feels life is worth living? Do genes play a role in ADHD or addiction?

The Bachelor of Psychology at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam focuses on the intersection between health, behavioural patterns, and ways of thinking. How do these differ from one person to the next, and how we can influence them?

Human behaviour in all its forms is endlessly fascinating.

Entry requirements

Psychology is a selective programme (Numerus Fixus). In addition to being selected for a spot in the programme, applicants holding a non-Dutch pre-university diploma must meet a number of requirements. If you do not yet meet the requirements but expect to do so in the future (such as obtaining your diploma), you can already apply.

We will evaluate your application and inform you of our admission decision. All outstanding requirements need to be met in full by the time you enrol for the programme. Admission to the programme will remain conditional until your certified diploma copy is received and the conditions in your admission decision letter have been met.

Requirements that apply:

A diploma equivalent to the Dutch pre-university VWO-diploma - See the < a href="https://vuweb.vu.nl/en/more-about/list-of-diplomas-per-country">Diploma Requirement List for examples of accepted diplomas per country. Please note: this list is meant to give you an indication of admissibility; no rights can be derived from it. Applicants who do not meet this criterion may be asked to sit (an) entry exam(s) to prove they are eligible for admission.

Proof of sufficient proficiency in English - Although complete applications are preferred, you can begin your application before you have completed the test and then submit your passing score once you have been conditionally admitted. You can find all accepted tests and scores on our Language Requirements webpage.

Proof of sufficient proficiency in Mathematics - After you apply to the programme and upload the required documents in our student portal, your International Student Advisor will have a look at your transcripts to determine whether your diploma is equivalent to the Dutch VWO diploma and whether your mathematics level is sufficient.
