Changes in apps.uva.nl as of August 2nd

Published on 28-07-2024
On August 2nd, there will be an important change in accessing apps and software via our virtual workspace: 'apps.uva.nl'. Many apps and software will no longer be directly visible after logging in. Instead, they will be found behind the desktop icon.

What is your study programme?

This means that you will:

  1. Log in to apps.uva.nl as usual.
  2. Click on the desktop icon.
  3. Access your virtual workspace desktop.
  4. View and select all available apps and software via the Windows start menu. You can also enter the name of the desired app or software in the search field to find it quickly.

Why this change?

We are making this adjustment to significantly improve the stability of the virtual workspace. This will provide a smoother and more reliable experience for all users.

What exactly is apps.uva.nl? 

Apps.uva.nlExternal link is the virtual workspace of the UvA. You can compare it to a UvA computer in the cloud that you can access from anywhere and with any device, whether Windows or Mac iOS. This gives you access to your own files, apps, and software that are also available on a UvA computer. This way, you don't have to purchase expensive software yourself. More info?
