The University of Amsterdam is one of the largest comprehensive universities in Europe.
The UvA community comprises around 50,000 people. Together we are one UvA: a community of thinkers and doers — students, researchers, lecturers, professional services staff and the representative bodies. Our strength lies in the multitude of perspectives, experiences and talents. This sum of perspectives is what truly makes the UvA the UvA.
There is an inseparable link between the university and its host city. The freedom and creativity with which Amsterdam has long been associated have worked their way into the fabric of the university. This is a place where individuality, authenticity and diversity are celebrated as sources of stimulation, inspiration and innovation.
