The multicultural city of Amsterdam is one of the world’s most exciting study locations and IC University of Applied Sciences – Amsterdam’s state-of-the-art campus is located right in the heart of it! The Netherland’s capital has long been a popular choice amongst international students thanks to thriving business scene, progressive outlook and first-class education.
