Abstract

Amsterdam University College (AUC) was established in 2009 as an excellence initiative jointly undertaken by the University of Amsterdam (UvA) and VU University Amsterdam (VU). AUC is a selective and residential honours college that offers an international liberal arts and sciences bachelor programme, leading to a joint degree from the two founding universities. Both the University of Amsterdam and VU are positioned between 102-150 on the Academic Ranking of World Universities by Shanghai Jiao Tong University (2011), with some 32,000 (UvA) and 25,000 (VU) students, yet quite distinct histories dating back to 1,632 (UvA) and 1,880 (VU).
