History
KIT Royal Tropical Institute was founded in 1910 as the ‘Colonial Institute’ to study the tropics and to promote trade and industry in the colonial territories of the Netherlands. It was founded by the Ministry of the Colonies, the City of Amsterdam, the Artis Royal Zoo, and prominent businesses active in the Dutch colonies.
Since 1926, KIT has been housed in a historic, neo-renaissance building at the edge of the Oosterpark specially designed by the architect J.J. van Nieukerken and his sons. The building has been designated as a national monument.

Housing services
Finding accommodation is the own responsibility of the students. But in practice we support as much as possible. We can advise you on accommodation when your application for one of our courses is finalized and paid for (or covered by a scholarship).
You may have heard that it is very difficult to find accommodation in Amsterdam. Especially since the accommodation for international students needs to be legal and official, with possibilities to register at the local municipality in order to be in line with the regulations from the NL immigration authorities.
Finding accommodation is the own responsibility of the students. But in practice we support as much as possible.
