Every faculty conducts high-quality research in its own field, which helps increase knowledge and solve societal problems.
In addition, the UvA focuses on a number of leading interdisciplinary research areas. The purpose of these research priority areas is to explore and encourage innovation by bringing together different disciplines, beyond faculty boundaries.
Examples of our multidisciplinary research:
Every year, around 500 doctoral degrees (PhDs) are conferred at the UvA. The UvA offers a stimulating research environment in which the talents of postdoctoral researchers can be developed in the best possible way. Academic research conducted at the university is in the international vanguard in a broad range of disciplines.
