Dutch
The Dutch minor is a language proficiency minor for students whose native language is not Dutch. With this minor, you are prepared, as a non-Dutch-speaking student, for subsequent education in Dutch or a position in the Dutch labour market.
In the first semester, the language of instruction of the language proficiency courses is a combination of English and Dutch. In the second semester, the language of instruction is Dutch. The course ‘The World in Languages’ (De wereld in talen) is offered both in Dutch and English.
The programme is partly provided by the Institute for Dutch Language Education (INTT).
This minor is offered by the Faculty of Humanities. The faculty’s minors consist of 30 ECTS credits and earn you a second qualification that will be listed on the transcript accompanying your degree certificate.
