Amsterdam is a very diverse, cosmopolitan city, where people of no less than 175 different nationalities live and work alongside each other. Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences (AUAS) perfectly reflects this eclectic diversity.
Our identity is based on typical Amsterdam character traits such as courage, ambition, creativity, hospitality and an inexhaustible spirit of enterprise.AUAS trains the professionals of tomorrow. Our graduates have open and inquisitive minds, they thrive on diversity and they possess all of the knowledge and skills required to excel in their professional field. Amsterdam is a hotbed of education and research in all conceivable areas: culture and society, trade, logistics, aviation, shipping, ICT, sport, health care, education and many, many more. We take full advantage of this wealth of opportunities in order to provide the best possible education and produce cutting-edge research.
Practically oriented research is an important component of the educational programmes offered by AUAS, each of which relates to one or more research disciplines. Our research always addresses a real-world problem from the professional field, and we conduct it in close collaboration with both academics and professionals working in this particular discipline. Our close cooperation with the University of Amsterdam is particularly valuable for these purposes.
AUAS programmes offer students a clear perspective of the professional field and the working environment in which their future careers will unfold. Students gain a great deal of their knowledge from practical work, via work placements, projects, research and labs. This demands a great deal of independence, although they also receive intensive supervision throughout the programmes of their development. During this learning process, contact with lecturers, fellow students and people from their future profession is crucial, as interaction with other people is vital to education. Students participate in various groups and networks as part of the programme, both within AUAS and in the outside world. In this way, they come in contact with new ideas and opinions, and they learn to approach problems from a variety of perspectives. After all, Amsterdam may be a world in itself, but there is more to the world than just Amsterdam.
The business sector needs graduates who have both intercultural and international (work/study) experience. For this reason AUAS ensures that internationalisation is integrally embedded in our educational programmes and the research activities of our schools.
The AUAS trains the professionals of tomorrow. Practical orientated research is an important component of the educational programmes offered by our faculties. Our research always addresses a real-life world problem from the professional field, and we conduct the research in close collaboration with both academics and professionals working in the particular discipline.
The AUAS consists of seven faculties. We have a total of 46,000 students and offer a total of 80 bachelor and master programmes.
We have 250 partner institutes across 50 different countries and contribute to various educational projects such as curriculum development, research projects, student/professor exchanges and work placements within an international working field. This ensures that the education provided by AUAS is truly internationally orientated.
The AUAS is actively involved with the University of Amsterdam, one of the oldest and largest research universities in the Netherlands. Together, the AUAS and UvA offer students a wide range of education pathways.
The AUAS aims to see all its students graduate, which is why it seeks to give each student the education that suits him or her. It therefore offers a wide range of educational routes with tailor-made student guidance. In order to facilitate this, the AUAS closely cooperates with the University of Amsterdam. If a student appears to have made the wrong choice of programme in the first year, he or she is steered towards a more appropriate programme within either the AUAS or the UvA. In light of this, AUAS and UvA have increasingly synchronised their student guidance facilities.
