Are you excited about many different topics? At AUC you can combine multiple fields of study into one programme. Combining multiple perspectives is not only fun but also important. Today’s ‘big questions’ in science and society are extremely complex. Think about climate change, public health, AI developments or another global issue. These complex issues need to be analysed from multiple academic fields of knowledge in order to find valuable solutions.

You’ll choose one of the three majors: Sciences, Social Sciences or Humanities. You’ll start by studying a core curriculum to sharpen your thinking, writing and argumentation skills. Learn about programming, explore your role as a global citizen and investigate the ‘big questions’. You’ll then create your own interdisciplinary study path, choosing courses that fit your broad interest under the guidance of your personal tutor.

Experiential learning and community are at the heart of AUC. You will participate in a living education that involves labs, internships, community outreach and international engagement, as well as an active social life full of committees and creative initiatives. For three years you’ll live in the student residences with fellow students from the Netherlands and more than 60 other countries.

Amsterdam University College (AUC) offers a Liberal Arts and Sciences programme, leading to a joint Bachelor (Honours) degree from the University of Amsterdam and Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam.
