If you would like to contribute to the world of tomorrow, and are looking for the best environment for your own development, VU University Amsterdam is the place to be.

VU University Amsterdam is unique. It had just five students and five professors when it opened its doors for the first time in 1880. Now there are almost 23,000 students and the VU has a staff of 4,500. Since 1880 the VU has grown from a modest initiative on the Keizersgracht to become a leading institution in a major economic district of the Netherlands, the Zuidas.

The VU has far-reaching ambitions in education and research. It offers excellent opportunities for ambitious and talented individuals who want to contribute to achieving these ambitions. VU University Amsterdam offers these opportunities to researchers, doctoral students and lecturers, but also to support staff such as policy advisers, financial controllers and specialists in ICT, HRM and communications.

Working at VU University Amsterdam means working on the world of tomorrow and today, in an inspiring environment.
