You can fill in your Optional Course Profile in many different ways.

Dedicated Minors

The Dedicated Minors are specially designed for economics students to broaden their insights. They consist of six courses in a discipline that is related to Economics and Business Economics. There are four different Dedicated Minors. 

UU Minors

You can also use the space in your programme to take a regular minor. The following minors are particularly interesting for economics students: 

Minors at the LEG Faculty:

Minors at other UU Faculties

Take more Major Electives

It is also possible to not follow a specific programme and just take more major economics electives to fill up your optional course profile. By doing this, you can specialize in a specific topic or perspective. You can use the Study Routes to form a cohesive collection of electives. 

LUISS Programme

While not an official way to fill in your optional course profile, you can also sign up to take part in the LUISS programme in International Business Economics in your first year. As part of this selective programme, you will study abroad in Rome during your second year. 

Compiling your own profile

You can also opt for making your own profile, for example by choosing courses from different disciplines. This allows you to compile your optional profile based on your interests and future goals. You're required to do two level three courses (15 ECTS) out of the six courses.
