What you can do

  • Check your tuition fees: ask your British university if tuition fees for next year will be affected by Brexit.
  • Register with the Dutch Embassy: the UvA has no central records indicating which of our students are currently studying in the UK. We advise you to register with the Netherlands Embassy in London. This will let us know that you are studying in the UK and enable us to provide relevant information as needed in the future.
