Minors
As an undergraduate student, you have the option to follow a Minor as a part of your Bachelor’s programme. A Minor consists of a coherent package of at least four optional subjects dealing with a specific topic. A Minor can form up to 25% of your undergraduate programme (depending on the options you choose).
Utrecht University offers over 100 different Minors (most of them in Dutch), and you are free to choose from any of them, regardless of your main programme. So if, for example, your main subject is Chemistry, you can still take a Minor in Italian Language and Culture.
The minor programme in Dutch Studies aims at international students who seek to understand Dutch culture, including language, communication, literature and history.
Next to Dutch Studies, the Faculty of Humanities offers other English-taught Minors:
