About the NSA

We are the student association for Mathematics, Physics and Astronomy students at the University of Amsterdam. The purpose of our organization is to educate and entertain our members. To accomplish that we organise many different activities. Here are some examples of the educational activities that we provide:

  • Academic conferences (our yearly symposium)
  • Study trips
  • Book sale (at the beginning of each semester)
  • Lecture series
  • Business visits
  • Bring your parents days

We also provide for entertainment for our members in following ways:

  • Wintersports trips
  • Hitchhiking competition
  • Themed science student parties
  • Open stage nights

Furthermore we organize many smaller activities. Our aim is once a week. These can be movie nights, board game nights, pool competitions and our monthly drink.

Unfortunately, at the moment most of our pages are only available in Dutch. But still, have a look around. The fact that most of us are Dutch should, of course, never frighten anyone, everyone speaks English and whatever language you speak you are always welcome!

About our website

Unfortunately, the rest of our website is entirely in dutch. However, don’t feel shy to drop by, all our members are fine english speakers.

On the front page you will find our news items. Most of them are announcements of upcoming activities. Most of these activities have their own pages in the northern side bar. On most of these pages you can access information about the current and past activity our enter in registration forms if the activity requires this.

Under the bar “Vereniging” you will find our contact information, all our committees and some details about our current board. Under the bar “Onderwijs” you can loads of information related to the education at our faculty and about our book sales. Also in here is the so called “Tentamenbank”, our exam archive. Use this to help your prepare for upcoming tests.

The bars “Foto’s”, “Activiteiten” and “Sponsors” speak for themselves, here you can see what is going on within our organisation and who is sponsoring us to keep us going. The “Scoop” is our magazine which appears roughly every two months, it is mainly in Dutch but we would love to have some English articles to publish. If you enjoy writing feel free to contact the Scoop redaction at scoop @ nsaweb . nl !

This brand new location is called Science Park. Here, our room is near the main entrance. Its number is A0.08. Feel free to visit us some times, there may even be some warm coffee left!
