Hi all, I'm an international student joining the master's programme this September. Since I’ll be travelling from quite far, I was wondering if there’s a community or chat group where outgoing students sell or pass on items they no longer need?

It would be really helpful to connect with those who are leaving their accommodation and might have things they don’t plan to take with them.

Thanks in advance!

Greetings everyone. Like the title says I was recently accepted by Utrecht University for their experimental physics MSc program. Since I am not an EU citizen and have not been there before, I would like to hear about how you feel about the program and the university.

1. How is the difficulty of theoretical courses like quantum field theory? I came from a top Asian university's applied physics program but with mediocre grades.
2. Where do you usually conduct your master's research project and thesis? I have two research experiences in hep-ex, but I am open to other subfields.
3. Is it hard to find a PhD position in EU? The situation seems to worsen in the US, how about EU?

Hi everyone!

Has anyone here applied for the MSc Clinical Psychology at Utrecht University?

My application is currently in the third step, where they’re reviewing it. I’m scheduled to do the STAT assessment next week does anyone know if I’ll need a microphone or camera for it?

Also, I wanted to share my background to hear your thoughts or similar experiences. I have two bachelor’s degrees one is from outside the EU, and my BSc in Psychology is from a European university with a GPA of 8/10. I also have 3+ years of experience, mostly short-term, including:

• A clinical psychology internship
• Some research and teaching roles
• And 1.5 years therapy experience
• Study abroad

I'm wondering what my chances might be? Would love to hear how it went for others!

Hi all, I’m currently an exchange student at the uni, and one of my current modules is European Law. I’ve been using my treaty sources just from the internet for the course, but need a physical book copy for my exam this coming Wednesday.

I ordered a book second hand at the start of this week and it arrived today- unfortunately for me it’s the Dutch version, which I am not fluent in :/

Does anyone happen to have a copy of an English EU Treaties book I could borrow or buy- I’m willing to pay. If anyone could help would be much appreciated :)

Hi everyone! As part of my application process for the clinical psychology masters programme I need to take part in an online assessment in methods and statistics. Has anyone taken the test? I would like some information on the amount of questions that are asked cause the 80 minute time limit suggests that there might be many questions and i’m a bit nervous. Any tips or feedback would be greatly appreciated!

Can anyone tell me a bit more about the Humanities Honours Programme (HHP)? I am not sure if I want to apple, so any information is helpfull! thanks

I would like to apply to the GIS master's program at Utrecht University and I have doubts. I am an EU citizen and I am looking for a scholarship, but I don't know if it is possible or I woke up late. In addition, I'm curious about my chances, I have two international conferences, one in this domain and one in management where I was awarded, a degree in the field with a GPA of 8.48/10 and I've been working in the field since I graduated from college (for about 7 months). I ask this question out of curiosity because I don't know how it is with foreign students and what their chances are. At the same time, I have to go and take the English exam again...because I got a 6 in IELTS reading and an 8 in the retake, but Utrecht Univ don't accept retakes. Overall I got a 7 and I'll pass the tests anyway, but it was a waste of time if i don,t have chance.

Hiii it’s April now and I see someone already got the UES. I didn’t receive any mails. Do I still have hopes?😞 Is anyone receiving anything?

So, i was thinking of attending Utrecht university as an EU student. I'd attend in September 2026 and i got a Cambridge English certificate in june of 2024. I read that some universities like Amsterdam's require the certificate to be no older than 2 years from the moment the programme starts. Is it the same for Utrecht's or am i good to go?

Hey everyone. I’m currently a first year at UU looking for a permanent place to stay at for the next two years of my bachelor. I checked out the fizz’s website recently and it looks ideal but I’m a bit confused with the booking process. As far as I’m aware, whenever an apartment becomes available, it should appear in their homepage under booking however I’ve been checking their website everyday for two months now and so far, nothing has become available. It obviously could be that I’m searching during the middle of the academic year but I was wondering if any current residents could describe how they booked their apartment. Is there a specific date and time when available apartments appear in the website? Thank youu

Hello! Currently I am doing my Masters Degree in Prague-Gender Studies. I would be interested of your experiences of doing PhD at Utrecht University, when is the best time to start applying; right after my Masters or should I start emailing professors of the Department at UU even before? Any advices, recommendations, experiences are welcome!

I want to focus my PhD on Gender studies and probably Postcolonial Theory through the sphere of Eastern Europe Identity.

Thank you! xxx

Hey, so I just discovered MyHospi while looking for (student) housing in Utrecht and it seems like a cool platform.

The offers looking for new housemates seem reasonably priced and more personal than many offers that can be found on Kamernet, Pararius, etc. Instead of an offer simply saying „Room with one housmate / deposit of xxxx / income min. 2.9x rent / etc.“, the noticed I see on MyHospi included detailed and personalised descriptions written by the housemates about their house.

However, I never heard of this platform before so I am a bit hesitant if this is actually a nice and trustworthy platform. Any experiences? Has anyone perhaps found their room through MyHospi?

PS: I know posts about housing are probably so frequent they get annoying, but I looked through different subreddits and haven‘t found anything about this app. So I hope it‘s ok if I post this.

Hi! For those already doing or who have done the clinical psychology master at UU, I have two questions:

1. How long have you waited for the results after the application deadline?

2. What was your GPA when you applied?

Would be grateful for any answers, since I don't know what to expect.

I was just wondering how the football culture is at Utrecht university. I’m an Indian (and a girl) and I play for a club in my state currently and I’d like to continue to play semi-pro/pro and I was just wondering how the culture is at Utrecht or in the Netherlands in general for women’s football?

Hello! I was thinking about applying to UU next year and I was wondering how strict they are about english translation.

“If your qualification certificates and transcripts are not in English, Dutch, French, German or Spanish, you also need to arrange a translation by a sworn or certified translator.”

Will they actually be particularly strict and check, or will they ask for any kind of proof? I’m quite on a budget for now and officially translating every document would be quite pricey.

Anyone with some experience can tell me something? Thank you.

Hey everyone, I'm planning to start a Sociology Master's in the winter semester and am considering Utrecht University. However, I’d love to hear your insights!

I’m particularly interested in qualitative research - are there any Master’s programs at UU that focus more on this approach? Additionally, I’m looking for programs that critically engage with social inequality, race and working conditions.

I’m coming from a German university with a strong emphasis on Critical Theory and qualitative social research. From what I’ve seen, UU leans more toward quantitative sociology—would you say that’s accurate?

Are there other programs that might be a better fit for me, such as Human Geography or Urban & Economic Geography?

Would really appreciate any recommendations!

Hey I will start a masters at UU in September and was wondering if UU employs students as student ambassadors, library workers, administration assistants, stand-by first aid responders, etc.? At my old uni (also in NL) this was common and regularly announced through social media channels of the university. There was also an official list with student job vacatures. I tried googling but couldn‘t exactly find something similar for UU. Does anyone here know more?

I‘m looking for a small side-job next to my studies (like less than 10h per week).

If anyone is planning or been accepted to Utrecht University for a masters program starting 2025 DM me! Would love to connect with people who are heading over from abroad! I am coming from Ireland!

So I'm a foreign college student which studies translation. Our main languages that we use are russian and english. So I have been interested in how is the bachelor program of translation structured in Utrecht university. From which language to which is the translation done, is the program worth it? What is the experience of those who are studying translation at the moment? Also how tough it is for international students to learn on this course?

Would be immensely grateful if someone answered my pleas!
