Information and answers to questions on all aspects of AUC! See below and links to the left, and watch the video to hear more about AUC from the student perspective.

The AUC programme

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. A liberal education teaches you to read intelligently, think critically and write effectively. AUC students acquire not only depth of knowledge, but also important and transferable academic and research skills. You can major in the sciences, social sciences or humanities. All AUC students undertake community service or an internship, and AUC offers a wide range of study abroad opportunities.

At AUC you will be trained to analyse complex issues from different perspectives and academic fields of knowledge. Discussions start from the 'big questions' in science and society and lead to in-depth study in a wide range of disciplines. Six interdisciplinary themes provide an orientation to your studies and choice of course options:

* Energy, Climate and Sustainability

* Life, Evolution, Universe

* Health and Well-being

* Information, Communication, Cognition

* Social Systems

* Cities and Cultures

You will engage on a daily basis in intensive and small-scale seminars with high calibre international staff. An AUC tutor (academic adviser) supports you in the process of planning your study programme, to help you ensure it is solid and coherent and will meet your academic and/or career goals. Substantial emphasis is placed on scientific reasoning within an interdisciplinary approach.

Admission to AUC

As a residential and selective honours college, AUC attracts students from all over the world. Applicants are assessed on the basis of their academic performance, interests and motivation. The selectivity rate is around 20%. The AUC Scholarship Fund promotes diversity in the student body with generous support from the international business community.

The AUC campus

Your time at AUC will become a true intercultural and social learning experience. AUC students live and study together on our modern international campus, located in the Amsterdam Science Park. Science Park's concentration of education, research exploration and enterprise is the perfect academic environment for AUC, as well as being the location of the University of Amsterdam's sports centre and other sport and social facilities.

The AUC student community

As a member of the AUC student community you will belong to a vibrant international group of young people interested in studying real-world problems that cross the boundaries of academic disciplines. Through working in a diverse environment of different languages and cultures, you will develop your creativity and critical thinking, problem-solving and communication skills. You need to be driven by a strong motivation to learn and a great commitment to the diversity of the AUC student community. From this foundation, you want to contribute to important debates about the world and its future and to make a difference!

After AUC

AUC graduates are well prepared to continue their studies at Master or PhD level at major research universities in the Netherlands and abroad, or to pursue a career in international corporate or public organisations. They join the community of AUC alumni who have already been accepted on to Master/PhD programmes at not only the University of Amsterdam and Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam but also prestigious institutions in the USA and across Europe.

Talk to an AUC student!

Would you like to talk directly to an AUC student to find out more about the student experience at AUC? See the information below on how to contact one of our students to ask them all you would like to know about the academic programme, student life at AUC, living on the AUC campus, and other questions you may have about studying at AUC.

UCU is modelled broadly on American college campuses: all buildings are located together on our historic site, including student accommodation, classrooms, social facilities and staff offices. UCU students are selected against criteria which highlight their academic and extra-curricular potential.

At UCU, students are strongly encouraged to take active roles both on and off the campus, whether it be organizing student activities, volunteering in the local neighborhood, participating in cultural or academic workshops, or playing sports. A unique spirit of community and participation at UCU means that students learn, develop and enjoy life both inside the classroom and outside it.

All students graduate with a Utrecht University honors degree, either a Bachelor of Science or a Bachelor of Arts.

Find out more about the UCU curriculum, admissions and campus life or read the UCU Strategy document 2015-2019.
Active Learning
Learning is at the center of UCU education. Teaching is supposed to facilitate learning. The small-scale and interactive class format creates optimal opportunity for learning. Students write papers, give presentations, lead discussions about reading materials, engage in debate, work on assignments in small groups, analyze data and so on. They receive feedback on their work in order to improve their academic skills and levels of understanding.

In addition to these classroom activities students read course books and other materials and take examinations. Studying at UCU requires good planning; students have four classes every semester and each has deadlines for reading assignments, presentations and papers. Every student has a personal tutor available for help if they encounter problems in study planning.
Not UCU: School of Liberal Arts
Please note: UCU offers a traditional Liberal Arts and Sciences curriculum. Utrecht University also offers a non-residential Liberal Arts and Sciences program, the School of Liberal Arts, that is not affiliated with University College Utrecht.

Do you want to develop new biotechnological solutions for tomorrow's society, and are you interested in sustainability and renewable energy? By studying the field of sustainable biotechnology you get a deeper understanding of the natural cycles and how we can use natural resources in a smart and sustainable way, that ensures a viable environment in the future.

UNDERSTAND THE BUILDING BLOCKS OF LIFE

The three-year Bachelor's programme in Sustainable Biotechnology at AAU gives you insight into biology, biochemistry and molecular biology.

The current century has been considered the century of biology. Biological solutions are necessary to develop sustainable solutions to the many global challenges such as depletion of resources, climate changes, lifestyle diseases, food supply, etc.

Natural resources should be used in a smart and sustainable way, which is why the development of green technologies is a highly prioritised and rapidly growing area that is fundamental for the development of a sustainable society.

Mineral oil still constitutes the most important source of liquid fuels, but it is also an important raw material for the production of plastics, chemicals, pharmaceuticals etc. Within one generation, we need to use more alternative sustainable resources in order to compensate for the forthcoming depletion of mineral oil, but also to deal with greenhouse gases and the associated climate effects.

Biomass is assumed to be the most important replacement for oil as an industrial raw material, which means that oil refineries will be replaced by bio refineries, where the processes are based on microorganisms, enzymes and chemical catalysis. Oil will therefore be replaced with crop residues, algae, and industrial waste from food production.

Someone has to help these changes and processes along to ensure that we have a healthy living environment now as well as in the future.
See brochure about Sustainable Biotechnology (pdf)
With a Master's degree within the field of sustainable biotechnology, you can help develop sustainable solutions to the challenges we face and you qualify for employment in biotechnological and bioenergy companies, research institutions, consulting engineering companies, and public institutions.

This is a full-time study programme, which is characterised by problem based project work in groups. You will be working closely with other students most of the time, and you are required to be present at the university on a daily basis and spend a vast majority of your day there.

Successful completion of the Bachelor programme entitles you to use the title Bachelor (BSc) in Engineering (Sustainable Biotechnology).
