About IES Abroad Amsterdam Center
Amsterdam’s IES Abroad Center takes you to the enchanting heart of local Amsterdam, to a welcoming part of the city. Here, at your study abroad hub, you meet friends for life and dive into European charm. In this renovated 1930’s clothing factory, history hangs on the walls. And as you study in the well-equipped classrooms and student library or hang out with friends new and old in the lounge, you look over one of the canals at the epicenter of the Amsterdam experience.
IES Abroad Amsterdam Staff

An IES Abroad study experience opens your eyes to a whole new world and broadens your perspective. IES Amsterdam Alum talk you through their stay highlights, field trips, and travel adventures in the Netherlands. They celebrate the care and attention they received from the expert center staff during their orientation and as they settled into life in what the locals call Mokum. And, like the locals, they love a bike, so they can explore the markets, squares, and canals of this dynamic city.
