At the IIS, you can find a variety of interdisciplinary education activities. We offer degree programmes at Bachelor's and Master's level as well as a selection of elective courses and Honours modules.
Bachelor's programmes (in Dutch)
Bèta-gamma (Natural and Social Sciences)
Bèta-gamma beperkt zich niet tot één vakgebied, maar combineert elementen van exacte wetenschappen, levenswetenschappen, sociale wetenschappen, economie en filosofie.
The Master’s programme Forensic Science trains scientists with a broad forensic insight who can answer forensic questions from a sound basis in a scientific discipline, who can stimulate innovations in forensic science, and who can evaluate and strengthen the role of forensic evidence in the entire forensic chain of evidence.
The Research Master's programme in Brain and Cognitive Sciences at the University of Amsterdam offers a broad selection of tracks that investigate all aspects of the field, from the molecule to the mind.
Our elective courses are intended for multiple audiences: students and staff of all faculties of the UvA, students of other educational institutions (secondary students) and other interested parties who can participate as 'contract students'.
For students who want to get the most out of their academic career, the IIS offers several interdisciplinary Honours modules. These modules are open to students of the UvA, the AUC and the VU. In addition to the IIS, the VU and the AUC also offer Honours modules open to UvA students.
Interdisciplinary education provides students with more than just one perspective on a particular issue. Comparing, contrasting, connecting, adding to and modifying disciplinary concepts, theories and methodologies generates new insights.
The key to a sustainable future is education. The IIS aims to reflect contemporary societal issues and challenges in education and it endorses the importance of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDG’s) of the United Nations.
