Extra opportunities

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

Masterlanguage

If you choose to specialise in a specific language during your Master’s, Masterlanguage can be an interesting option for you. Masterlanguage is a national course catalogue focussed on German, English, French, Italian, Spanish, Dutch and the classical languages (Greek & Latin). The courses are  in the relevant target language (except Greek and Latin) and will be taught by (Assistant-) Professors from:
 

  • Rijksuniversiteit Groningen
  • Radboud Universiteit Nijmegen
  • Universiteit Leiden
  • Universiteit Utrecht
  • Universiteit van Amsterdam
  • Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam

You can choose from a selection of their courses (see Courses). Course information, admission requirements and registration information can be found on the Masterlanguage website (in Dutch).

Apart from the regular course catalogue, Masterlanguage also offers lectures and masterclasses. This allows you to meet teachers (with different expertise) and language students from all over the Netherlands.
