Discount, used books and more at VIVA

How much discount do I get on my textbooks if I am a member of VIVA?

If you are a member of VIVA, you will get very high discount on your textbooks.

Discount on Dutch language textbooks

Before a period begins, you will receive a 10 percent discount on Dutch-language titles when ordering online via VIVA. This has to do with Dutch legislation. You will receive this discount only during the period mentioned with the titles online. If the period has started you will receive a 5 percent online discount if you purchase 2 different Dutch-language books from a study group. The latter also applies to purchases at the VU Bookstore as VIVAmember.

Discounts on English-language books

. English language (study) books are always super cheap, with discounts up to 25%, if you are a member of VIVA.

I already bought my books at the VU Bookstore and then became a member of VIVA?

If you decided to become a member of VIVA during the introduction week but have already bought your books at the VU Bookstore then you will receive the extra discount. To do so, go to the bookstore with your invoice from the VU Bookstore. Please note that this action runs from August 1 to September 15 of each academic year. The extra discount applies only to English language textbooks.
