Curriculum in a Nutshell

In just a few minutes, discover how UCR’s Liberal Arts & Sciences program works. See how you can combine disciplines and shape your own curriculum.

At University College Roosevelt, you can follow courses within six different clusters, namely ‘Business & Entrepreneurship’, ‘Data Science & Intelligent Systems’, ‘Environment & Sustainability’, ‘Government & Society’, ‘Health, Cognition & Behavior’, and ‘Media, Culture & Communication’. To finish the program within three years, you take four courses per semester, each of which is worth 7.5 ECTS. There are 16 weeks of classes, with two meetings per course every week. In total, you will have 30 classes of two hours per course during the semester.

You can learn more about our curriculum on the UCR website. 

Class format

The 16 hours of classes that you are required to follow each week, contain a mixture of (guest) lectures, Community Engaged Learning (CEL), debates, student presentations, fieldwork, and individual work. All classes are taught in English. Outside of class, students are required to do a substantial amount of homework. This high pace ensures that, although the semesters are only 16 weeks long, students can still excel academically and be well-prepared for postgraduate programs.
