Description
At the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences (AUAS), we educate tomorrow’s professionals in a wide array of fields and disciplines of higher education. With our distinct focus on applied sciences, the AUAS enables students, lecturers and researchers to develop cutting-edge – and practical – knowledge and innovations.
The slogan of the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences (AUAS) is ‘Creating Tomorrow’. The university inspires students to work on the future by producing creative solutions and sustainable innovations, connecting today with tomorrow. ‘Creating Tomorrow’ expresses the active social role that the AUAS plays in Amsterdam.
With the city as their classroom, our students and lecturers work closely with countless industries, companies and organisations to come up with smart solutions to challenges facing our city. The unifying theme of the research done at AUAS is to respond to the city’s needs. The wide range of research and education offered by the AUAS contributes to solving metropolitan problems.
The AUAS is a university of applied sciences that revolves around the city of Amsterdam. The urban environment serves as a laboratory and source of inspiration for our practice-based research – both in Amsterdam and further afield in our network of international partner cities. Our multidisciplinary approach sees us collaborate to find solutions to metropolitan and social issues. AUAS research is always linked to the education we offer at AUAS.
The AUAS works closely with other knowledge institutions, the business community and the government in so-called Centres of Expertise (CoE). Within the AUAS there are seven CoEs: Applied Artificial Intelligence, City Net Zero, Creative Innovation, Economic Transformation, Urban Education, Urban Governance and Social Innovation and Urban Vitality.
