Who to Contact at UvA
The Ombuds student
The Ombudsstudent is an independent contact person, this year that is Elin Swaan. If you ever find yourself in a situation in which you feel that you are being treated unfairly, or if you disagree with something and you don’t know how to solve it, she is your contact person!

The study advisors
The study advisor’s primary job is to help you go through your studies without hiccups. For study advice, guidance and planning you can contact one of the study advisers. So, all study related questions are for them! You could come to them for information about a specific course, or any personal issues you might experience, that influence your studying.
Because of the corona restriction, the study advisers work mostly form home, and it’s only possible to visit (Nieuwe Achtergracht, 129-B, rooms G0.23 and G0.24) by appointment.
You can send the study advisors an email and ask for a telephone or zoom appointment if you like. You could also call them during the telephone consultation hours for short questions.
The study advisors are:
- Rebeka Rotter
- Rosemarijn Franses
- Irene Luth
- Sarah Plunkett

The VSPA
The VSPA is always there for you, for whatever questions or issues you might have. Both personal and study related questions are always welcome! We will try to help you or send you to the best person to contact.
This year we have two appointed trust persons, Heleen and Irmak. They are the specific people in the VSPA to contact when you have personal troubles and you don’t know who to contact. Heleen or Irmak will then help you out, either directly or with finding the right person.
Contact:
You can contact us via Instagram by sending us a private message, or you can send an email to info@vspa.nl. You can of course also always stop by at the VSPA room (GS.25)
Trust persons: heleen@vspa.nl and Irmak@vspa.nl
Teacher
You can always contact your teachers, the people giving the lectures, for questions that are related to the study material.
Contact:
Their contact information is course (and teacher) specific, but you can always find them on canvas or by googling: ‘their name, UvA’.
Tutorial teacher
Your tutorial teacher is there to help you with your study material and studying in general, but they’re also your mentor! You can always contact them with your personal and study-related troubles, don’t be afraid to ask them for help.
Contact:
Every semester you get a new tutorial teacher, you can always email them via canvas and they usually also share their other contact information in one of the first tutorials.
