Curriculum
Students at Erasmus University College (EUC) study three years to graduate for their Bachelor Degree in Liberal Arts & Sciences. 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, while keeping a lot of choice available to yourself. As such the path that each of our students follows in our curriculum will most likely be different to some extent.
Year 1:
- Academic Core: Nine courses introducing various fields of study and skills development in academic skills,methodology, and research design.
- Electives: Three courses to explore your interests, some of which are required for specific majors in year 2.
- Personal Development Track (PDT): Full-year programme focusing on study and personal skills, mentorship, and peer-guidance.
- Basestone Project: A foundational academic course equipping you with the skills and knowledge to develop your Bachelor thesis in year 3.
- Major Declaration: At the end of the first year, you declare a major from a list of available options.
Years 2 & 3:
- Majors: Choose from majors in Economics & Business, Humanities, Life Sciences, and Social & Behavioural, Sciences, as well as interdepartmental majors, for in-depth exploration of your chosen field.
- Electives: Select additional courses to gain insights from fields outside your major and tailor your curriculum to match your interests.
- Minor Option: Combine your Major with one or more Minors! EUC offers a range of 18 different internal Minors composed of six individual EUC courses. You can also take a Minor at another faculty of Erasmus University, Leiden University, or TU Delft.
- Study Abroad Option: In the first semester of the third year, you have the opportunity to study abroad at one of over 40 partner universities worldwide.
