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 individual curriculum from over 200 different courses in humanities, science and social science. In this they are supported by individual tutors. A unique spirit of community and participation at the college means that students learn, develop and explore both inside and outside the classroom. University College Utrecht opens doors, to different worlds and different ways of thinking.

The Liberal Arts and Sciences programme at University College Utrecht prepares students for a wide range of postgraduate programmes and jobs across many industries, with its intensive programme and broad approach. The majority 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, mainly in the United Kingdom and the United States. Graduates work as doctors, lawyers, psychologists, policy advisors, consultants, politicians, PhD researchers, marketeers, and in many other professions.
