Experience the Bachelor
There are several ways to get a first impression of the programme Literary Studies. You can visit an Open Day or sign up for the student for a day event. You can also read about the experiences of students who are following the programme themselves.
Visit the Open Day
During the Open Day, make sure you visit the information market where you can ask teachers and students all your questions. Sign up for campus tours of our buildings, or attend a mini lecture. You'll also find information about financial matters, study choice assistance, honour programmes, studying with disabilities, sports, and much more.
When?
The next Bachelor’s Open Days where you can learn more about this programme are:
- Wednesday 16 October (online) - the event programme is now available!
- Friday 15 November (on campus)
- Saturday 16 November (on campus)
- Saturday 8 March (on campus)
Approximately 2.5 weeks in advance we will announce the event programme.
Experience days
Curious to know what it's like to study Literary Studies in Utrecht? Then come and join us for a day before you apply. After your application, you'll also take part in a matching process.
Student for a day
During a student for a day event, you'll spend a day with a current student and follow one or more lectures. You will also have the opportunity to talk to students and lecturers. You will also be introduced to Study Association Euphorion. You're welcome to join if you're in your final years of high school, transferring from another programme, or as an HBO student, and if you've already attended an Open Day.
Matching
After you apply for the programme, you'll participate in a matching process. This is similar to the student for a day event but is mandatory and serves as the final check to see if the programme suits you. You'll study course material at home, complete assignments, attend a lecture in Utrecht, and take a test. Afterwards, you'll receive non-binding advice on whether the course is a good fit for you. It's a great opportunity to get to know your future classmates (and teachers) in advance.
This is what our students say
Our own students know better than anyone why the study programme Literary Studies is a good choice. Below you can read why they chose this programme and what makes it so unique.
I changed into a different person during my time in the program, thanks to the teachers who introduced me to wonderful authors and thinkers.
