It has a strong internationalization programme and offers a number of Dutch and English language courses. There are seven faculties covering humanities, social and behavioural sciences, law, economics and business, medicine and dentistry, and science.

The UvA thus offers a comprehensive range of academic study programmes. UvA staff publish around 7,500 scholarly articles each year. The university's fundamental academic research is top of the international league in many respects. The applied research programmes are often of an interdisciplinary nature and often focus on social issues.

The UvA aims to offer an inspiring, broadly oriented international academic environment where both staff members and students can develop their capacities to optimum effect. The UvA is characterised by a critical, creative and international atmosphere, open-minded and strongly engaged with society. Because the UvA is located in both historic and modern buildings spread throughout the city, the university forms an integral part of the city of Amsterdam. Less
