Free all-access membership

The beginning of your studies is often about adjusting—new city, new schedule, new people. It’s not always easy to find places to exercise, play sports, and meet others. To make that step easier, the USC opens its doors to you. Thanks to the UvA, all first-year Bachelor’s students can use a free all-access membership until 1 January 2026. That’s a saving of €150.

Unlimited sports, seven days a week

This membership lets you try out everything the USC offers. Train as often as you like, seven days a week—on your own or in group classes. From squash to yoga, kickboxing to fitness, basketball to bouldering: the choice is yours. The only exceptions are tennis, padel and climbing. The complete overview is available on the Passe-partout pageExternal link on the USC website. Watch for the email in mid-September with your personal activation code, and make the most of this chance to discover USC.
