| Overview | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
According to Lonely Planet, 'Amsterdam combines a huge case of big city exuberance with small-town manageability. Amsterdam's quintessential Dutchness shines through: the 17th- and 18th-century architecture, the fleets of bicycles, the tree-lined canals and scattered parks all contribute to the mood of the city.' The Dutch are known for their openness and tolerance which has helped give Amsterdam its reputation as a place for experimentation in the arts, social welfare, environmentalism, and lifestyles. This webflyer is referring to the Amsterdam: Social Sciences & Humanities program. Because Dutch is not frequently studied outside of the Netherlands, mastery of English is a core feature of Dutch education and many people in Amsterdam speak fluent, colloquial English. Dutch universities have sought to attract international students by offering courses taught in English in a variety of fields. The University of Amsterdam offers students the chance to integrate academically and culturally with the Dutch people without prior study of the Dutch language. This page's dates and fees are referring to the the Social Sciences & Humanities program option. Students wishing to participate in IES' other options in Amsterdam should refer to the webflyer for those programs instead. For more program information, please visit the program website. This program is sponsored by:IES. |
