Amsterdam, the capital of the Netherlands, has been a
renowned cultural, scientific and commercial centre for many centuries. It was
here, in 1880, that VU University Amsterdam first opened its doors to students.
VU stands for 'Vrije Universiteit' which means 'Free University'. Here, 'free'
refers to freedom from state and church interference. VU University Amsterdam
