Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?

“A university that makes you work hard and be critical”
Marina L
Spain, Graduate
Communication and Information Sciences, 2022
Overall
When doing a master, it is important that it is demanding and that it pushes you to work hard. The MSC in Communication Science at UvA does so. The teachers will engage you in order to be more critical and analytical. It is a project-based master that puts a lot of importance on teamworking.
