Once again the AMSU is presenting two courses in the field of art history this summer in
Amsterdam and Maastricht.
The courses are designed for professional artists, arts managers,
academics, who wish to expand their training in their specific or related
professions/ field of study. The AMSU offers a unique opportunity for
international networking and practical experience with high quality course
leaders and organisation.
