7. Restrictions:
   - Courses in the fields of Psychology and at our School of Business and Economics have limited capacity. Therefore, incoming exchange students majoring in Psychology, Business and Economics are given priority in registering for courses in these subject areas. Students with different majors can apply for courses in these fields but should be prepared to adapt their course choice in case these courses are full.
   - Bachelor's students are not allowed to follow courses at Master's level, unless these courses are also mentioned in the exchange courses overview under Bachelor's courses.

1. Students can take Dutch language courses at the Department of Dutch as a Second Language.
2. Insurance: VU Amsterdam requires all incoming international students to be properly insured by an internationally recognised insurance agency for the duration of their stay (this is also required by Dutch law). 
3. Living in Amsterdam can be expensive. Make sure that you have sufficient financial means to cover the costs of living. 
4. Experience shows that living and studying in the Netherlands for one year costs a student between €1,000 and €1,100 per month. Some students manage to spend less, but this of course depends on your own lifestyle (and type of accommodation). An indication of likely monthly expenses:
   Rent for housing average: €600 (price range €366 - €1,045)
   Food: €250
   Insurance: €100
