What is the Amsterdams Chemisch Dispuut?
The Amsterdam Chemical Dispute (ACD) is the study association for students of the Bachelor Scheikunde and the Master of Chemistry in Amsterdam. The ACD supports UvA and VU chemistry students in the way they prefer. To this end, the ACD offers a wide variety of activities so that there is something for everyone. In addition to activities, the ACD also supports students in many other ways, such as by selling books and other study supplies. In addition, the association maintains an extensive exam bank for subjects in both the bachelor’s and master’s programs. Also, the association rooms of the ACD at both universities are the place where chemistry students meet and can learn, talk and/or relax together. All with the goal of making all chemistry students feel welcome and comfortable during their studies!
