English is the main language for many students at the UvA. Unfortunately, a language switch option (Dutch-English, English-Dutch) is not yet technically possible in MijnUvA . For the time being, therefore, MijnUvA has been made partially bilingual.

This means that the MijnUvA interface is now in English and the channel names are sometimes bilingual, but the actual content is still often in Dutch only.

Language preference

If you are registered at the UvA with English as your preferred language, the news messages will appear in English in MijnUvA. If this is not the case, they will appear in Dutch.

You can change your language preferences via your student mail:

• Go to: https://webmail.student.uva.nl
• Click on Options, then Personal Information. Preferred language is the option at the very top.

Your personal MijnUvA

You can personalise MijnUvA to suit your information needs by:

• giving the tabs another name;
• moving channels or clicking them away;
• adding tabs: go to settings at the top right-hand side, then add tab;
• uploading rss feeds: go to settings, then add content, then go to rss feeds under the category gadgets.
