About University of Amsterdam
The University of Amsterdam grew out of the Athenaeum Illustre, which opened on 8 January 1632 with lectures by Gerardus Vossius and Caspar Barlaeus. The city raised it to university status in 1877, giving it the right to award doctorates, and the national government took over its funding in 1961. It is now a large public research university spread across several sites in Amsterdam.
