Studios
We have been visiting Amsterdam for many years, so we have a good overview of the studios out there. Amsterdam is a European hub of excellent graphic design, mainly because of the location, the international connections and because most people speak excellent English which makes communication easier for us.
Staff will arrange and coordinate the studio visits. We usually take groups of 10 or so students to a studio. The studio often gives an overview of their work, a tour of the studio and answer any questions you may have. We aim to give every student on the trip 3 studio visits.
In between studio visits you have time to explore this amazing city with some of its fantastic museums and fabulous canals and streets.
