The LEG Skills Academy enables you to develop skills from other scientific disciplines in addition to your own Bachelor/Master programme. Students in Governance, Economics and Law are welcome to join the REBO Skills Academy.
The LEG Skills Academy offers small modules of 2,5 EC on honours level, during which you will learn beyond the confines of your own field of study. After a successful pilot last year, in period 4 seven modules will start about a diverse array of skills. Every module has four to six meetings. Most modules are offered in English, some are in Dutch.
