  • Stimulate students' interest in science, thus enhancing their potential for entry into science-oriented graduate programmes and research.
  • Support the ambitions of the Dutch knowledge economy and the performance of Amsterdam as a "knowledge hub".
  • Attract more international students at bachelor level to Amsterdam and to the Netherlands.
  • Offer young people with an international and/or English-taught secondary school education in the Netherlands an opportunity to follow an international bachelor (honours) programme in Amsterdam at a top quality liberal arts and sciences educational institution.
