Graduate School of Social Sciences (UvA)

GSSS

The Graduate School of Social Sciences (GSSS) is an educational institute of the University of Amsterdam. Founded in January 2009, it has been built upon existing institutional structures and is the home for graduate studies in the social sciences at the UvA. The Graduate School has approximately 1000 registered Master’s students of various nationalities.

Our ambition is to be a dynamic, multifaceted institution marked by high academic standards, an open intellectual international atmosphere, and a vibrant ‘academic commons' with multiple public events, where Dutch and international students and faculty engage in debates, in seminars and in the class rooms.
