Sophia Aeterna has found the ideal partner to work with, Athenaeum Boekhandel, who gives discounts on books to members only. Athenaeum is the expert when it comes to history, small languages, and of course, classics.

Members of Sophia Aeterna can order their books online from Athenaeum. During association sales you will receive a 10% discount on your Dutch books and a 15% discount on your foreign books. You can assume that all required (and recommended) literature will be in stock. Furthermore, these lists have been drawn up in consultation with the program.

You don't just get a discount for study-related books, but also for all other non-Dutch books sold by Athenaeum. This discount is available throughout the entire year: go to Athenaeum and enter this discount code: SVSOP2425. The discount is 10% for foreign titles. Dutch books are subject to the law on a fixed price for books (Wet op de vaste boekenprijs): when purchasing two or more different Dutch-language books prescribed by a higher professional education (HBO) or university (WO) programme in which you are enrolled, you are entitled to a discount of 5%.
