The University of Amsterdam is one of Europe’s most prominent research-led universities. It is a modern institution with a long and rich history dating from 1632.

Our education is based on scientific research. Curiosity, analysis, reflection and smart problem-solving are things we stimulate in our students. We strongly emphasise an international outlook, to prepare students for the global job market. We encourage students to gain international experience, the number of international students in our programmes is on the rise and we are creating a growing number of joint degrees with leading international partners.
