We compile our lists in collaboration with your program. If your list is not available on our website this either means that we have not yet received enough information from your program, or are still verifying that all the books on the list are in fact available for ordering. We check and publish lists within days of their definitive approval by their program. Please come back and try again later.

This means that you do not require any books for this course (or that the books for this course will become available later in the year). The current reading list contains all the titles you will need to start your year.

These are the lists that programs have passed on and confirmed. If you are missing courses or books, please let us know and we will inquire with the program.

Yes, unless we explicitly mention that the book is a recommended title. In that case it is up to you to purchase the book or not.

You do not have to buy all books at once, but your program does recommend it. Having all your textbooks in possession at the beginning of the semester makes it easier to make a good start.

The first semester (i.e. terms 1 and 2 at the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences, terms 1 through 3 at the UvA) starts in September and runs till February. This means you will require the relevant textbooks soon after the start of the school year. We usually make these available for ordering at the beginning of July (Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences) and August (UvA). The second semester (i.e. terms 3 and 4 at the HvA, terms 4 through 6 at UvA) starts in February and runs till the summer holiday. We make the titles for that semester available for ordering in the course of January.

Sometimes you need one and the same textbook for several courses. If you choose ‘select entire list’ duplicates will be filtered out automatically and only one copy of each title will be added to your cart.

No, although paying by credit card does imply a certain degree of payment in instalments.

If you did not let us know beforehand you will not need a book you ordered, you will have received it along with the other titles. If this is the case, we are pleased to offer you an extension on our returns policy, allowing you to send it back to us before this October 1. Please include proof of purchase (a receipt or invoice) and make sure that the book is in pristine condition. If that is indeed the case, we will accept the book(s) and reimburse you electronically for the purchased amount. Please note that this return policy only applies to textbooks ordered during the summer holiday. Beyond that our regular returns policy applies.
