Why study at VU University Amsterdam

International in scope
The many foreign staff and students involved in Earth Sciences at VU University Amsterdam make it a truly international Master’s programme. And it is a programme in which the whole world is your field of study.
 
Interdisciplinary
VU University Amsterdam is renowned for combining all Earth Sciences specializations with other subject areas. Earth Sciences forms one faculty together with Biology and Environmental Sciences. Why limit yourself to being just a geologist or a geographer? Become a true Earth Scientist, with far-reaching background knowledge that allows you to really make the most of your future. 

 

Small-scale
The programme’s excellent reputation is partly due to the fact that it is small enough to facilitate personal contact between all participants but large enough to encompass the full range of specializations. In that sense, Amsterdam and the programme are much alike: impressive but small enough to feel you right at home.
