VU University Amsterdam

VU University Amsterdam (website) is a socially engaged university that is active at the heart of the community, makes an active contribution to current developments in teaching and research, and is committed to providing teaching and research of the highest quality. The thirteen VU faculties are located on a single campus so that departments from every discipline are within walking distance of each other. This means that it is easier for the faculties to work together and for students to follow subjects offered by other departments.
