Welcome to Amsterdam University College!

Amsterdam University College (AUC) offers an international liberal arts and sciences bachelor programme that crosses the boundaries of languages, cultures and academic disciplines.

The AUC programme has been formally accredited by the Accreditation Organisation of the Netherlands and Flanders (NVAO).

We are grateful for all the generous support that we have received for achieving AUC's establishment: a major grant for excellence in higher education from the Dutch Ministry of Education and Science's SIRIUS programme, and from the City of Amsterdam within its programme "Amsterdam Top City".

We are also grateful for the generous funding and support from our founding universities, the VU University Amsterdam and the University of Amsterdam. Their great commitment and contributions to our programme at the highest academic level mean that we are confident of delivering an excellent international undergraduate experience to our students.


We look forward to welcoming you in Amsterdam!
