VU University Amsterdam

VU

Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam is an internationally renowned research university founded in 1880. With 30,000 students, of which more than 4,000 are international, the university conducts cutting-edge research into problems of societal and scientific importance. We have one of the largest English-taught course offerings for exchange students in mainland Europe.

The university is located in the vibrant city of Amsterdam, one of the most multicultural cities in the world, with the largest concentration of students in The Netherlands and where English is the second most common language spoken. The campus is surrounded by one of the most dynamic and fast-growing business districts in The Netherlands, hosting over 700 companies.

The university distinguishes itself in research and education through four interdisciplinary themes: Human Health and Life Sciences, Science for Sustainability, Connected World, and Governance for Society. As a student, this will help you look beyond the boundaries of scientific disciplines, and to seek for tangible solutions for a better world. In addition, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam regards diversity, whether in culture, conviction, nationality, or prior education, as a source of innovation and progress, and hence as special strength.
