Exchange Students

You will benefit from the personal atmosphere and easy access to all facilities due to our campus setting, and still have the vibrant city of Amsterdam close at hand. The university’s slogan is ‘Looking further’, which is certainly true for the Faculty of Arts. Our programmes are often interdisciplinary. We aim to become an international university. Exchange students are very welcome, each year we have more courses in English on offer.
