Welcome

To the Oxford & Cambridge Society of the Netherlands. We are the official point of contact for alumni of both universities who reside in the Netherlands.

We organize a variety of social and cultural events throughout the year, such as the annual black-tie dinner, annual BBQ or informal pub gatherings in various cities. Attendance to formally organised events of the society is only open to Members and more information on Membership can be found here.

We also offer support and encouragement to applications to Oxbridge from students within the Dutch school system and organise yearly meet and greet for freshers admitted to Oxford or Cambridge.
