As a student of the FEB you can study a period abroad at one of UvA’s partner universities in Europe via the Erasmus programme. If you would like to do so in 2012-2013, it is important to start your orientation, because the preparations might take some time and the application deadline for studying abroad during the academic year 2012-2013 is approaching: March 1, 2012.

If you want to study abroad, it is best to choose a minor track and go on an exchange in the semester that is reserved for that purpose in the third year. You then can still graduate within 3 years for your Bachelor. You can study abroad as a Master student as well. This however, will take you an extra semester to graduate, plus you will have to ask permission from the Board of Examiners by sending them your study program with your planned study abroad. For the master a maximum of 15 EC of extra credits is allowed.

To be eligible for an exchange in Europe you will have to have obtained at least 90 EC at the moment of your planned departure.

For more information and application (the application form will be online in the end of January 2012) please refer to the website of the FEB-International Office

If you have any questions after your orientation, you may call or visit the office hours of the International Office (see website) or mail studyabroad-feb @ uva . nl

Good luck!

Dear Student,

• The BSc program will stay as it is.

The MSc program’s future is uncertain.

• This year (2011/2012) it will stay as it is and there are plans to have an extra round of resits before September 1st 2012.
• For the year 2012/2013, currently the registration is open. This would mean that for that year the MSc program also has to be provided; how that is done, for instance by external staff or in collaboration with the VU University, is up to the FEB. Aside the first normal year of the MSc program, students will always get one year extra to finish their MSc. Again, this might either be by external staff or by collaborating with the VU University.

Dear Student,

Next week University organizes an informal session to bring students up to date with developments surrounding MSc Operations Research (ORM). Present will be Present will be Erik van der Sluis (acting program director), Alain Dankers (counselor) and Jeroen Hinloopen (Director Graduate School of Economics).

Session will take place on

Wednesday, November 23, 16.00-17.00,

in M-101, Plantage Muidergracht 12.
