Detailed Description

This academic year, our Fine Art and Photography annual study trip takes us to Amsterdam! We'll travel on Monday 2nd March for four days / three nights, returning on Thursday 5th March.

The final price will only be confirmed by our travel agency once we have confirmed the number of travellers (hence this early deposit payment to secure your place). We have been told to expect the total cost to be around £399 each, though this may increase or decrease depending on the size of our group. This price will include travel on the Eurostar (which allows two pieces of luggages one one hand luggage), transfers from Farnham to London and to our hotel in Amsterdam, and a buffet breakfast each morning of our stay.

Accommodation will also be confirmed once our group size is set, but we're anticipating shared rooms at MEININGER Hotel Amsterdam City West - a comfortable chain that we've had good experiences with in the past.

We'll carefully plan an itinerary of galleries and cultural venues around the city that we can visit as a group but will make sure that you have plenty of free time in the afternoons and evenings (you'll always be welcome to form small groups and split from the main group). If you have any questions, please email drule2@uca.ac.uk

Students have the right to cancel their booking without penalty if there is significant increase in cost.

Passport Validity

If are travelling on a UK Passport and are you are planning to travel to an EU country (except Ireland), or Switzerland, Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Andorra, Monaco, San Marino or Vatican City, you must meet the Schengen area rules.

Your passport must meet 2 requirements. It must be:

• less than 10 years old on the day you travel (check the ‘date of issue’)
• valid for at least 3 months after the day you plan to return (check the ‘expiry date’)

For some Schengen countries your passport may need to be less than 10 years old during your whole visit, and the 3 months at the end of your visit may need to be within 10 years of your passport’s issue date.

Check both the issue date and the expiry date in your passport. If you renewed your passport early, extra months may have been added to its expiry date. The extra months may not be valid regarding the stipulation that the Passport is with 10 years of issue.

Overseas Trips

It is your responsibility to arrange a visa if this is necessary.  If you are an international student you may need to organise a 'Schengen Visa' for study trips to Europe.  If this is the case please contact the Gateway Service on your campus in the first instance for advice about how to apply for the Schengen visa.

• If you are eligible for a Global Health Insurance Card (GHIC) then you will need to apply for one in advance of an overseas trip.  Some insurers now insist that you hold an EHIC or GHIC.  See https://www.gov.uk/global-health-insurance-card
• A Global Health Insurance Card (GHIC) will replace the EHIC card for the majority of UK citizens. Existing EHIC cards will still be valid until their expiry dates.
• You will be required to submit a copy of your passport and visas to the Campus Registry Office at least 14 days in advance of the trip.

 Additional Support    

• If you have a disability and require any adjustments to your trip, please let your learning support manager know as early as possible (based in the Gateway on campus).  If you do not do this, we may not be able to put these adjustments in place.
