Get Ready with IntreeLite - Particpants

A more personal start to your time at UvA

Are you the first in your family to go to university? Does starting at the UvA feel a bit overwhelming or unfamiliar? Or do you simply prefer a smaller, more personal introduction where you can ask all your questions and build confidence before your program starts?

Then Get Ready with IntreeLite might be a good fit for you.

What is Get Ready with IntreeLite?

Get Ready is part of the three-day IntreeLite program. You join a small group with its own mentors who:

  • take extra time for questions,

  • help you find your way at UvA,

  • and focus on creating an inclusive, supportive atmosphere.

What can I expect as a participant?

During the three IntreeLite days:

  • You join a small, mixed group
    Your group may include students from your own study programme and other programmes within your faculty.

  • You visit the IntreeLite events together
    You follow the same programme as other groups, guided by your mentors.

  • Your mentors check in with you regularly
    They’ll keep an eye on how everyone is doing and make it easy to speak up if something feels unclear or overwhelming.

  • On Wednesday at the fair
    Your mentor will make sure you get acquainted with UvA staff from relevant helpful services, such as:

    • Central Diversity Office

    • Student Services

    • UvA Ideas

  • On Wednesday at Intree Inspires
    There are workshops that are particularly interesting for Get Ready participants. Your mentors can help you choose what suits you.

  • Special Get Ready event
    There will be a special inspiring lecture with a mystery guest that’s only available for Get Ready with Intreelite students.

Is Get Ready with IntreeLite for me?

Get Ready may be a good choice if one or more of these applies to you:

  • You’re the first in your family to go to university.

  • You’d like a more personal introduction with extra time for questions.
