Science school trip to Amsterdam

We've built a really unique and engaging programme for students serious about a future career in science in exclusive partnership with Amsterdam University College. This school trip will inspire your students by giving them a greater understanding of the job prospects in the science field and give them direction for their future. Your group will have the invaluable opportunity to hear directly from English-speaking students at the university with a guided tour of the campus, a Q&A session where all their higher education questions will be answered and even get the chance to sit in on a class if time allows. You'll also tour Amsterdam Science Park, where some of the world's most exciting scientific developments are happening!

On top of our exclusive partnership with AUC, you'll also get to explore the five floors of the interactive NEMO Science Museum and take a journey through the human body at the Body Worlds exhibition to understand human anatomy and processes. We can also pack your itinerary with a selection of cultural attractions both fun and educational like a canal cruise, a visit to the Rijksmuseum and the Anne Frank House.
