The Oxford and Cambridge Society of the Netherlands is registered as a Dutch “Vereniging”. Membership is open to all Oxford and Cambridge alumni or those who have had a significant connection with either University. The majority of current members live close to Amsterdam or The Hague, though there are also many in other parts of The Netherlands.
The subscription period starts on 1st January of each year.
Therefore, the 2026 membership is valid for all events in 2026.
Membership Fees:
- The annual subscription for the membership is €45. Joining before 31st December 2025 makes you eligible for a 15% discount (Membership Fee 38.25 EUR instead of 45 EUR from 1.1.2026)
- We currently offer two options for payment: auto-renewal or one-time payment.
- The auto-renewed or one-time membership payments can be made clicking the option that suits you best from below.
Note: Auto-renewal option will set up an annual recurring direct debit payment for your membership fee. Never forget to pay your membership, never miss an event and to cancel you can email us anytime before your next charge at secretary.ocnl@gmail.com.
Bank transfer option for membership fees:
We are moving away from Bank Transfers as option for membership fees. However, if you prefer to make the payment for the membership fees via Bank Transfer, please email info@oxbridge-nl.com for details on the same.
Current student? Get a free membership!
We offer free student membership for those currently enrolled at either institution or graduates who are currently enrolled as students elsewhere. If this applies to you, please sign up here. This applies for 2025 membership period.
On membership:
All events (with the exception of monthly drinks, see below) require membership for the given calendar year.
Note: A spouse/partner counts as a “guest” (see below) and does not pay an extra subscription. Our events are mostly subsidized by member fees and, hence, guest or first-time attendee tickets will usually be slightly higher priced.
A guest can only attend or book a ticket for an event if attending event with a Full Member of the Society.
Explore before joining: To help new alumni explore the society before joining, alumni may attend one event under the ‘first-time attendee ticket‘. Any events thereafter require membership status for the given calendar year.
Please note that our regular drinks organised in various cities are always open to all alumni, regardless of membership status. More information can be found under ‘Events’ section of this website and clicking on ‘Regular Events’ or you can follow this link.
Additional information
Normally it is assumed that membership will continue from year to year, however in order to terminate membership, please inform the secretary. Please also let the secretary know if you leave the Netherlands. Email: info@oxbridge-nl.com
The Society maintains a data base of contact details for current members, former members, and other alumni who have asked to be on our mailing list. The data base is used within the committee and not distributed further. The secretary can, however, put people in contact with other alumni in their area, for example by forwarding an e-mail to a specific person or to a group of people in one city.
In addition, anyone who wishes to make their own existence known to other Oxbridge alumni in The Netherlands or take part in networking and discussions is recommended to join our WhatsApp Community (access to which can be requested by emailing info@oxbridge-nl.com) or following our LinkedIn group: https://www.linkedin.com/groups/4658750/
