Amsterdam Academy of Architecture
The Amsterdam Academy of Architecture trains students to practice architecture, urban design and landscape architecture as skills situated at the interface of fine art, building and civil engineering, natural and cultural technology, and the spatial sciences. The Master's Degree awarded by the Academy gives graduates direct entry to the Register of Architects. The Amsterdam Academy of Architecture is the only training institute in the Netherlands to combine the three spatial disciplines of architecture, urban design and landscape architecture within its walls. That unique combination of courses places the Academy in an exceptional position, both nationally and internationally. Study and work are combined in the course: half of the course consists of design education, the other half consists of acquiring work experience in a relevant part-time position.
Non-Dutch students
Non-Dutch students are welcome to apply for the 4-year degree course, as long as they have sufficient control of the Dutch language at the beginning of the course. For further information, see the
