Exchange students

Exchange students are students from schools that have an 'Erasmus' or 'EMiLA' exchange agreement with the Amsterdam Academy of Architecture. The Academy has an annual quota of incoming exchange students. However, this quota is always exceeded by the number of exchange requests.

Application procedure 
If you want to apply as an exchange student, your home institution must contact us to nominate you. We will then provide you with information on how to register. Your application cannot be processed without a nomination from your own educational institution.

Admission depends not only on a bilateral exchange agreement between the schools, but also on the suitability of the student, as reflected in the portfolio, among other things. The general admission requirements apply in full for exchange students, see admission requirements. Please note: as an exchange student, you do not need to register via Studielink; this is only required for the 4-year Master's programme.

Deadline 
The deadline for registration is 1 november 2025. If you have any questions, you can contact the study secretariat per email. 

Guest students

Our master's programmes are taught in English and are therefore open to guest students. These students can participate in the program for one or two semesters, provided that their level corresponds to the required standard (minimum of a relevant bachelor's degree).
