Amsterdam School of International Relations
  ASIR has ceased to exist as an independent school in summer 2006. Instead of the Executive Masters Degree in International and European Relations & Management, the University of Amsterdam will offer a broad range of Master's degrees in response to the new structure of higher education in the Netherlands and in other European countries. Application to the Executive Masters Degree in International and European Relations & Management is therefore no longer possible.

The Amsterdam School of International Relations (ASIR), Universiteit van Amsterdam (UvA), has prepared Master's students during the years 1987-2006 for careers with an international executive orientation. Most alumni hold executive, advisory and consultancy positions worldwide. The School put emphasis on creating a setting in which students develop their analytical abilities, independence of thought and opinion together with a sensitivity and respect for other cultures.

History
The Amsterdam School of International Relations was founded in 1987. It drew on many of the Universities lecturers and makes use of UvA facilities. The average class consisted of students from approximately 20 different countries. The School has ended its program in summer 2006, due to a restructuring of Higher Education in the Netherlands that made it impossible to keep up a stand-alone program. Archives and alumni data have been transferred to the Universiteit van Amsterdam, where they will stay retrievable.

Program
The program was taught entirely in English and as an intensive interdisciplinary postgraduate program, it provided the essential aspects of International and European relations, addressed from the disciplines of political science, international economics, history, law and business management. The curriculum had been reviewed for each academic year to ensure that new questions in international relations, strategic Management and European law are addressed. Upon completion of the program, students received the Executive Masters Degree in International and European Relations & Management.
