Stricter access rules apply during exam periods. Please note that the Library is only accessible with a valid and physical UvA student or staff card, even if you enter via the bicycle parking. Do you have friends studying at other universities or at the AUAS? They are not allowed in during exam periods. The Library gives exclusive access to UvA students during this busy period.
Join the special guided study sessions during the exam period. Daily from 09:00 to 22:00, you will study with fellow students in a quiet environment, with support from a host who will keep an eye on the Pomodoro timer and schedule. There is also a focus on relaxation, with short meditations guided by the student psychologist and peer-led check-ins to maintain your focus and reduce stress.
These sessions will take place in Roeterseiland Campus, REC H, room H1.01, or online via Microsoft Teams. Interested? Add to your calendarExternal link!
