About the University

History, Affiliations and Rankings

The University of Amsterdam (UvA) dates back to 1632, the year it was founded as the Athenaeum Illustre of Amsterdam and formally opened by Gerardus Vossius with his inaugural lecture, "On the Usefulness of History." From its small beginnings with only a dozen students attending lectures in a former chapel area and to being elevated to the status of a University in 1815, today, after nearly four centuries since its establishment, UvA has grown to become a University with a leading international reputation, particularly for the Sciences. The University is progressive, creative, intellectual and international, like the city of Amsterdam itself. A top 100 world university, the University of Amsterdam is affiliated with the League of European Research Universities (LERU), Network of Universities from the Capitals of Europe (UNICA), European Universities Association (EUA) and Universitas 21. The University ranks at #65 according to the Times Higher Education World University Rankings and #2 in the Netherlands, #55 according to QS World University Rankings and #38 as per US News and World Report Best Global Universities for the year 2022.
