Faculty of Economics and Business

The Faculty of Economics and Business (FEB) was established in 1922, starting with 111 students. It now has around 5,000 students of which nearly 700 are international students. Internationalisation is a keyword at the FEB. The staff, student body, degree programmes and research all have a strong international focus.

The modern faculty building is situated in the so-called Roeterseiland (island) area. This lively area in the eastern part of the city center is surrounded by water and can easily be reached by public transport. In its surroundings there are numerous trendy bars and fancy restaurants and some famous spots like the Amsterdam zoo and the Tropenmuseum. For study-related matters you can refer to a large bookstore and a copyshop.
