Where can I study?
Volkshotel
- This is probably the most well-known study spot for students in Amsterdam. The hotel has a ‘werkplaats’ (workplace) area, with indoor and outdoor workspace, and even work-cabins available. You can book meeting rooms for work or group projects. Usually the ‘werkplaats’ is open until 1AM (2AM on Sundays), but with COVID-19 these opening hours can vary, so make sure to check before you go. https://www.volkshotel.nl/en/werkplaats/
UvA
UB singel
- Of course, the UvA has some great study places as well, one of them is the University Library on Singel. This is a great place for students who prefer a quiet place to study. In addition to tables and desks all around the building, there are also private study rooms and computers you can use. https://uba.uva.nl/en/contact/locations-and-opening-hours/university-library-singel.html
UvA Campus
- Of course, every UvA campus has a lot of libraries as well. You can always visit these libraries, but in times of COVID-19, make a reservation first!
Cafes
- Cafes are a great place to work if you don’t like to study in silence, some examples are Coffee Company, Bagels and Beans, CREA, House of Watt, and many more!
OBA
- OBA stands for Public Library Amsterdam, the main library is located near the Central Station and has seven floors, but there are a lot of different OBA locations all over Amsterdam, so there is always one close to you! https://www.oba.nl/oba/amsterdam-public-library.html
Stedelijk Museum Library
- The Stedelijk Museum Library is accessible for free and without a ticket to enter the museum.
The Student Hotel, West & East Amsterdam
- The Student Hotel provides the perfect place to work, there are a lot of students and it acts as a networking hub as well. There is a lot of space and the chairs are comfortable. There are two locations on opposite sides of the city. https://www.thestudenthotel.com/amsterdam-city/
