Vision on teaching and learning

Teaching is one of the university's core activities, alongside research, social responsibility and innovation. At the UvA we consider teaching to be just as important as research.

Vision on research

At the UvA, we want to ensure a sharp positioning of our research. This means more focused choices based on the uniqueness and competitive advantage of research in institutes and groups. It also means more effective alignment with social and economic issues outside the UvA.

The UvA will also continue to invest in state-of-the-art research facilities that will improve the quality of research. The UvA considers scientific integrity and open science to be essential prerequisites for the quality of research.

The University of Amsterdam (UvA) is consistently ranked among the world’s best universities in global rankings. It is a top 100 university in the THE Rankings, QS Rankings and Leiden Ranking.
