Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences (abbreviated as: AUAS; Dutch: Hogeschool van Amsterdam) is a large vocational university located in Amsterdam, Netherlands. The AUAS mainly offers bachelor's degree programmes, but also has a number of (professional) master's degree programmes. For students from the AUAS' international partner institutes it is possible to study at the AUAS as an exchange student.

The AUAS offers eighty courses of study, spread across locations in Amsterdam. The university maintains ties with the University of Amsterdam.[5] The 2,300 employees of the AUAS serve more than 40,000 students.

An important way of learning is via work placements. All students at the AUAS have a practical work period in order to get on-the-job experience in the field of their study. Such a work placement can be at a company or organisation in the Netherlands or abroad. Most of the teaching at the AUAS is organised in modules, which are given in four periods of ten weeks or in two semesters.[6]
