Liberal Arts and Sciences (University College Utrecht)

University College Utrecht offers the English-language undergraduate Liberal Arts & Sciences programme at Utrecht University. Founded in 1998 as the first university college in the Netherlands, we presently have around 750 students. While approximately half of our students come from the Netherlands, the remaining half represent over 70 different nationalities.

We offer students complete freedom to compose their curriculum from over 200 different classes in humanities, science and social science. They need to combine at least two different academic disciplines and can take at most 25% of their classes in one subject. All students have a personal tutor, an academic advisor that helps them compose a curriculum that prepares them well for the future.
A unique spirit of community and participation at the college means that students learn, develop and explore both inside and outside the classroom. The Liberal Arts and Sciences programme at University College Utrecht prepares students for a wide range of postgraduate programmes and jobs across many industries. About 95% of our graduates directly enroll in a Master’s programme. About 40% of the graduates who continue with a Master’s programme do so internationally. Graduates work as doctors, lawyers, psychologists, policy advisors, consultants, politicians, PhD researchers, marketeers, and in many other professions.
