- Our 3 -year Liberal Arts & Sciences programme offers an inspiring combination of flexibility and structure: flexibility to explore different academic fields, with structure to ensure that the knowledge you gain is specific and valuable for further studies and careers.
- During those three years you will take both mandatory Academic Core (ACC) courses to give you a solid foundation in knowledge and skills as well as declare a Major and (optionally) a Minor, while still keeping a lot of choice available to yourself.
- You will graduate with an internationally recognized Bachelor of Science (BSc) degree from Erasmus University Rotterdam.
