Program Overview CIEE Amsterdam Social Sciences

Amsterdam is full of life, day and night, with world-renowned museums, art galleries, music, opera, theater, and dance. It is a truly international and multicultural city. Amsterdammers are easy-going and welcoming to foreigners, and English is the unofficial second language. With 750,000 inhabitants, Amsterdam offers the advantages of a cosmopolitan center with a small-town feel. Because the city is so compact, bicycles are perhaps the most convenient means of transportation: in fact, bicycles outnumber the people in Amsterdam!

Program Focus

The University of Amsterdam (UvA) dates from Amsterdam's heyday in the 17th century when the city was one of the world’s most important ports and trading centers. The CIEE program is based at the International School (ISHSS) which offers a number of humanities and social sciences courses in English, and aims to increase students understanding of social, political, and cultural realities in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, and Europe. This program is geared for advanced undergraduates with a strong interest and background in the social sciences and humanities who seek course work with a research component, are able to work independently, and wish to live and study in an increasingly international and multicultural European capital city.
