The Vrije Universiteit of Amsterdam is something special; Its foundation was a one man's initiative. In 1878, under the leadership of theologian and statesman Dr. Abraham Kuyper, orthodox Protestant Dutchman established an association whose goal was the foundation of a free Christian university; 'free' (vrije) here meaning independent of church or state, bound only by God's word.

The logo of the university, the griffin has a body of a lion, the head of an eagle and the ears of a horse. The logo represents characteristics of scientific endeavour as well as of the Vrije Universiteit itself; rooted in reality, inquisitive, dynamic and subject to multiple interpretation. The vrije (free) aspect of the university is expressed in the design of the wings.

Of course the university has an international program, you find it for sure on the site. The faculties are:

• Faculty of Arts
• Faculty of Biology
• Faculty of Dentistry/ACTA
• Faculty of Human Movement Sciences
• Faculty of Earth Sciences

  • Chemistry

The English pages of the internet site need some searching for the right information, but maybe The European Courses is what you are looking for. It is an interdisciplinary programme with the central theme of Europe and its objective is to provide an in-dept view of the continent and its integration process.
