Student ID card
You can use your student ID card to:
- confirm your identity when attending classes and when using study centres at all AUAS locations.
- to identify yourself at online exams.
Only if you do not have a student ID card, you can identify yourself with a valid identity card. For online exams, the BSN must not be visible on the screen.
Please note: for exams on location only an ID card or passport is considered as a valid proof of identity, not a student card! - borrow books from the university library or the university of applied sciences library.
- Check all information about your student ID card and how to apply
Please note: if you don’t live in the Netherlands, your student ID card will not be sent to your home address. It will be ready for you to collect from one of the AUAS service points.

ACE Society
- The AMSIB Culture and Excellence (ACE) society is the student society of the International Business course of the Amsterdam School of International Business (AMSIB).
- Our goals are to create a community, increase student engagement and to improve the mental health of students. Throughout the academic year we plan on engaging students on our social media accounts with content relating to study tips, comedy, culture course information and much more.
- We also plan to support students with advice when it comes to their various needs, we do not promise to always have solutions, but we do promise to always listen.
- In the past academic years, we also organised events to bring students together, such as meet and greets, movie nights, bowling nights, board game night, BBQ’S, Kings day parties and etc. While we currently are unsure of what the future will bring, we will strive to at least have small get togethers for students to get to know each other. Whether it be online or face to face.
- We very much look forward to meeting all the new students and members and we wish you a very happy year studying.
