Extra opportunities

For students looking for an extra challenge in addition to their Master's, there are several options. 

Eurocampus

Each year, five students from Utrecht can take part in the European Master’s Programme in Intercultural Communication (EMICC). This Master’s programme started in 2002 and is organised together with eight partner universities from Germany, Estonia, France, Finland, United Kingdom, Italy, Portugal and Switzerland.

During this four-month intensive English programme (30 EC), you will take classes taught by international experts and build up an international network. Your fellow students will be from various international universities, forming a diverse, intercultural and multilingual group. You will take 15 one-week courses on themes such as English as Lingua Franca, Linga Receptiva , management, human rights, globalisation and European unification, cultural anthropology, new media and intercultural training.

Students who are interested in participating in the Eurocampus must indicate in their application that they wish to be considered for the Eurocampus. To this end, they must include a clear motivation for this participation in their letter of motivation. Eurocampus students are integrated within the Multilingual track. The compulsory programme in Utrecht is replaced by Eurocampus (30 EC).

Note: Eurocampus 2023 will take place at Tallinn University.

Interdisciplinary honours programmes

You can choose from three of the university wide honours programmes below. In these interdisciplinary programmes you will work on varying social and academic issues together with students from other disciplines.
