Amsterdam Graduate Business School:
The Universiteit van Amsterdam Business School (Amsterdam graduate Business School) offers a rigorous one year full-time/two years part-time Master of Business Administration; this is no MBA 'lite'. The Amsterdam MBA is the classic training for future top business managers. To help inaugurate the programme, scholarships will be available for the best applicants. We believe our graduates should have a sound understanding of the subjects they have studied. The City of Amsterdam is the capital of the Netherlands, and is one of Europe's most frequently visited cities. It is a real cosmopolitan capital, and one of Europe's most beautiful at that, with an enormous number of attractions. It is also relatively small, peaceful, well ordered and an easy place to find your way around.

Courses / Programs:Master of Business Administration - The Amsterdam MBA (one year full-time or two years part-time MBA).
Also a Master Programme in International Finance (MIF), EPCEM Master in International Management and Sustainability, International Executive Master of Finance and Control.
The Universiteit van Amsterdam Business School has received NVAO Accreditation for three of their international programmes. Our courses are stimulating and demanding and comply fully with the specification of an MBA as defined by EQUIS and AMBA. Our programme is designed to incorporate three main factors: rigour, relevance and reliability.
The language of instruction on all courses is English. We are looking for students for whom the program represents a challenge and a good career-fit. The Amsterdam MBA has a strong international focus and has been designed for ambitious professionals and academics. They wish to pursue a career in the international business world. The participants will come from many different cultural backgrounds. The part-time students continue to work during their studies, while fulltime students are only focusing on the MBA for one year. Both groups meet each other in class. Most students are expected to eventually go on to senior management levels.
Language:Most Dutch people speak some English, so language barriers should not be a problem while moving to or settling in Amsterdam. However, if you want to take courses outside of those offered within the international programmes, or make the most of your experience of Dutch culture, you will need to take a Dutch as a second language course.
Climate:
The Netherlands has a moderate sea climate with mild winters, cool summers and quite a lot of rain. Temperatures vary from -7° C (19.4° F) in winter to 30° C (86° F) in summer. In the winter you will need a warm coat, gloves, a woollen scarf and a hat, and in the spring you will need a raincoat (and rain pants, if you plan to bike). In the summer, it is often possible to wear shorts and shortsleeved shirts.
