For students starting or continuing their studies at the College or Graduate School of Social Sciences in 2021-2022
On this page we offer relevant information for students starting or continuing their study programme at the College of Social Sciences or the Graduate School of Social Sciences.
We can offer on-campus education again as of September 2021. Please see below for more information about how we are planning our education.
the 1.5-metre measure;
the maximum group size of 75 people;
the obligation to wear a face mask, which means you don't have to wear a face mask on campus anymore. If you feel uncomfortable without a face mask, however, it goes without saying that you can still wear one. If someone asks you if you are willing to wear one because of their concern, we hope you show leniency towards their request.
Students and staff with COVID-related symptoms must still stay at home and get tested at the GGD.
Self-testing and vaccination remain important in order to ensure the safest and most responsible return to the campus. We would therefore urge everyone to get vaccinated, if possible. This week, you can do so without an appointment at the mobile vaccination unit on the Roeterseiland. On the afternoon of Thursday 16 September, there will be a mobile vaccination team at the Science Park. View all vaccination locations in Amsterdam here.
We would also ask you to carry out a self-test at least twice a week. Starting 16 September self-tests will be available at building entrances at the campus. You can also order your test at zelftestonderwijs.nl.
