The AUC learning experience combines study with cultural and social life in an international and residential campus setting.

AUC is situated within the city of Amsterdam. The residential campus is located in the Science Park Amsterdam, in the Watergraafsmeer district of the city. The AUC academic building is centrally located on the eastern edge of Amsterdam city centre, in the lovely Plantage neighbourhood. This is only a short distance from the student residences in the Science Park Amsterdam.

AUC's academic building and Artis Library

AUC uses the historic building at Plantage Muidergracht 14 as its academic building.

The beautiful Artis Library building at Plantage Middenlaan 45, situated opposite the academic building on the other side of a small public park, is used by AUC.

These two historic buildings, both registered monuments, are equipped with state-of-the-art facilities.

In addition to the classrooms, the buildings offers study areas, a Common Room, Reading Room and cafe.

Modern information technology supports all study activities, and you will have access to laboratories for any practical work required for your study programme.

AUC student residences

All AUC students are guaranteed accommodation, and the residential aspect of the international campus is an essential part of the AUC learning experience. You will not have to worry about finding somewhere to live in Amsterdam, and you will be able to relax and concentrate on enjoying your student life from the moment you arrive. You will live on-campus in the AUC student residences for all three years of your studies.

How to travel

The best way to travel between the two campus locations is by bike (it takes about 10 to 15 minutes to cycle).

By public transport:

  • From the student residences, you can take bus 40 to Muiderpoort Station, and then change to tram 7. Get out at Korte ‘s Gravesandestraat and you are a few minutes walk from the Academic Building at Plantage Muidergracht 14.
  • Alternatively, walk from the student residences to Molukkenstraat where you can pick up tram 14. Get out at Plantage Badlaan, and you are a few minutes' walk from the Academic Building at Plantage Muidergracht 14.
By either route, it takes about 20 to 25 minutes

In the future

A brand-new academic building will be built for AUC at Science Park Amsterdam in the Watergraafsmeer district, close to the AUC student residences. This new building is due for completion in 2012. AUC will then leave the Plantage area, and be entirely located on its campus in the Science Park Amsterdam.
