University College Roosevelt

At University College Roosevelt (UCR), we offer a personalized, responsive, and embedded curriculum. Our English-taught program leads to a degree (B.A. or B.Sc.) from Utrecht University, in a learning environment where students can pursue their passions and chart their own course. The UCR curriculum is organized into six clusters of related courses. These clusters include ‘Business & Entrepreneurship’, ‘Data Science & Intelligent Systems’, ‘Environment & Sustainability’, ‘Government & Society’, ‘Health, Cognition & Behavior’, and ‘Media, Culture & Communication’. Yet, there is more than merely the curriculum that sets UCR apart from other institutions. Students enjoy affordable and guaranteed housing, are part of an international community, and experience the benefits of small-scale, impactful learning. With Middelburg offering a unique blend of nature and (small) city life, and the existence of a student-led campus culture, UCR offers an exciting environment for both academic and personal growth.

You will be surrounded by roughly 500 students from all over the world, who are just as motivated, internationally oriented, and socially active as you are. Our students are highly involved in making the UCR community as close-knit as it is by organizing events such as concerts, volleyball matches, guest lectures, or the Christmas Market - open to all people from Middelburg!

Living in Middelburg 

Middelburg is in the heart of the province Zeeland. It is a relatively small but buzzing city, which enjoys the luxury of being close to a unique delta area, the beach, and great natural beauty. It has a vibrant cultural life, a fascinating history of political and trade relations, and great connections with the rest of Europe. In Middelburg you will find a wonderful library, study spaces at the Archives, and the historic Lange Jan tower which is fun to discover. You can also have an ice cream or drink on the Market square and join one of the many student activities organized by RASA.

Your future home

You do not need to worry about finding a place, as housing is guaranteed until you graduate! We have four main campus locations right in the city center of Middelburg. In three of these locations, you will find studio apartments with your own facilities. In the other locations, students have their own private bedroom, but share the bathroom and kitchen facilities. You will be living with students from all over the world and spend time cooking, eating, partying, and studying together.
