Flexible study

The Bachelor's programmes in Taal- en cultuurstudies and Liberal Arts and Sciences and the Master's programmes NeerlandistiekReligie en samenleving, Musicology and Contemporary Theatre, Dance and Dramaturgy will pilot flexible study. This means that in these programmes, you can register and pay per course. This allows you to choose for yourself how many courses you want to take each year, and your tuition fees will be adjusted accordingly.

To be able to participate, you have to switch to flexible study as of September.
