The below information is required while
completing the university application :
International applicants must complete and submit an application form and supply several key documents, including a certified copy of their secondary school transcripts, proof of English language proficiency (e.g., TOEFL, IELTS), a letter of motivation (or short video pitch/interview), a copy of the passport’s ID page, and financial documentation to support visa and study arrangements. Non-EU applicants typically also undergo a motivational interview during the admissions process.
For the English-taught Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) programme, applicants without prior Dutch education are generally expected to demonstrate English proficiency equivalent to at least an IELTS overall score of around 6.5, and alternative accepted tests may be used to meet this requirement.

In 2025, the university was honoured with the Iserlohn Integration Award, recognising its outstanding efforts in promoting diversity, international exchange, and inclusion within its academic community. The award reflects UE’s commitment to fostering a multicultural learning environment and supporting students from diverse backgrounds.
In 2024–2025, the University of Applied Sciences Europe was honoured with the German Education Award in the “Private Universities (Universal)” category, a prestigious accolade presented by the German news channel n-tv in cooperation with the German Institute for Service Quality (DISQ). This award was based on extensive feedback from around 38,000 consumers evaluating over 460 education providers, highlighting the university’s excellence in teaching quality, student satisfaction, and educational service delivery.
In 2024, UE also received the German Service Quality Award after strong evaluations in a consumer survey conducted by DISQ and n-tv. This recognition emphasised the institution’s high standards in areas such as student support, responsiveness, and overall service excellence among private higher education providers.
In May 2025, the U!Innovate initiative was launched as an innovation and entrepreneurship project funded through the European EIT Higher Education Initiative to foster climate-neutral and entrepreneurial activity in higher education institutions across Europe. While this project is led at a pan-European level, universities of applied sciences including partners in Amsterdam contribute to boosting innovation competencies, hybrid incubators, and climate solution scaling.
Although outside UE Amsterdam directly, Amsterdam’s broader academic ecosystem (including Amsterdam Academic Ventures) supports spin-offs and ventures from student and academic research across universities in the city; this ecosystem helps students and young founders turn academic insight into real-world companies, benefitting many UE Amsterdam students who engage in entrepreneurship within the city’s innovation environment.
Through collaborations with institutions such as Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences (AUAS), there are ongoing applied innovation projects that students can contribute to, such as Fair Fashion (2024–2027) combining sustainable design with digital tools; DigiFABs (2024–2027) which equips students and SMEs with digital transformation capabilities; and other entrepreneurship-focused programmes aimed at boosting innovation and social enterprise skills among students. These projects integrate practical research, industry partnerships, and student engagement in solving real business challenges.
