Faculty of Health, Sport and Physical Activity
The Faculty of Health, Sport and Physical Activity is the home for all students we train to become professionals and contribute to a healthy, active, and vital Amsterdam. Our research is also entirely focused on vitality. We are working towards a society where we teach both young and old to be physically active, raise awareness about healthy nutrition and lifestyle, and strive to provide accessible support for health issues to everyone.
Our faculty is located on 2 campuses, with a strong focus on the Amsterdam districts where we are based: the Health Campus in Southeast and the Sports and Nutrition Campus in New West. Thanks to the wide range of expertise we have in-house, we offer students and researchers an excellent cross-pollination between (paramedical) care, preventive healthy lifestyles, sports, movement, and nutrition. This way, we train professionals in an interprofessional manner, ensuring they can collaborate effectively in the field.
