Elite sports team

The elite sports team is responsible for the support of elite athletes and the implementation of the elite sports policy within the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences. Together we ensure that elite sports and study can be combined in the best possible way.

The Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences is divided into 7 faculties spread across the city. For example, the faculty of Exercise, Sports and Nutrition is located in the West of the city while the Faculty of Health is located in the South-East. In order to provide the best possible guidance to all studying elite athletes, each faculty has its own elite sports coordinator.
