You are more likely to be successful in your studies, if you choose the right discipline. Therefore, UvA Matching is an essential part of your enrollment in a Bachelor’s programme. Through Matching, you familiarize yourself with the programme, before it begins. Participation in UvA Matching is mandatory for all students.

Online

The online Matching will take place from 6 May to 10 June. As of 6 May 2026 the study material will already be available on Canvas (please see below) and you will be able to start working on your assignments. 

There will be a wrap up (online) meeting called the Meet and Match.

If you have applied for this program and you have received a positive admission decision, you can sign up for the course ‘matching’ via the ‘checklist application’. You will receive an e-mail with detailed information about the Matching process in May 2026.

The matching procedure takes place through our online learning platform Canvas. Here, you can:

• read the instructions;
• study the literature;
• watch an online lecture on the same topic;
• submit your written Matching assignments;
• Upon completion of the Matching exam, you will receive your grade. Thereafter, you will receive your official personal (non-binding) matching advice on the basis of your test results. Please remember that participation in UvA Matching is mandatory for all students.
