Program Overview

Come discover the city that invented globalization and is currently host to one of the largest communities of international students in Europe: Amsterdam! Whether you decide to call Amsterdam home for one or two six-week blocks, during this Open Campus Block program you’ll learn about the liberal and progressive policies of the Netherlands in CIEE-catered courses across various subject areas while experiencing the Amsterdam lifestyle and unique gezelligheid (conviviality) of Dutch society.

At CIEE Amsterdam, dive into the city’s rich past, critically revisit the Dutch Golden Age, and learn how Amsterdam is preparing for future challenges faced by sustainable cities. All of that in a single place; a city at the forefront of economic innovation with policies built on “Doughnut Economics,” ensuring a solid social foundation, respectful of our environmental ceiling.

Outside the classroom, you’ll have every opportunity to experience Amsterdam on your terms. Explore the city’s 165 canals, appreciate its 17th-century architecture, tour its well-preserved historic neighborhoods, eat your fill of stroopwafel, and so much more on this one-of-a-kind journey.

BUILD YOUR STUDY ABROAD ADVENTURE

Designed for students who require a flexible study abroad experience, CIEE's Open Campus Block program was thoughtfully structured to be completely customizable. Select one, two, or three six-week blocks per term at any CIEE Open Campus Block location.
