Collaboration

VU Amsterdam is a strong internationally oriented university doing state of the art research located in the business center of Amsterdam. The VU is an open organization, which is tied to people and society. It is not only about deepening of knowledge, but also widening. We require our students and researchers to look further: beyond self-interest and their own field, beyond the known, beyond the here and now. The VU is ambitious in scientific research and education and encourages free and open communication of ideas. The VU stands for universal values such as academic freedom and independence. VU Amsterdam has a long standing tradition of cooperating and partnerships with universities in emerging economies. It is one of the biggest Universities in the Netherlands in the area of auditing and assurance. Year after year, the audit education programme of the VU is rewarded for its top quality. The accounting and auditing programmes are executed by high esteemed representatives from both accounting and auditing science and practice. The VU’s School of Business and Economics (SBE) is EFMD EQUIS Accredited and holds a double AACSB Business and Accounting accreditation.
