Humanities

As part of the language and culture requirement, University College Utrecht students must take a certain number of language and culture courses. These courses are organized in the Humanities department. For the specific requirements, please consult the Academic Rules & Regulations.

The Humanities department offers the following dedicated programme:

• UCU Cultural Heritage Programme (CHIP)

The UCU Cultural Heritage Programme offers students a hands-on experience of working in the cultural heritage sector, worldwide, as part of their undergraduate liberal arts and sciences curriculum

Student representatives assume the role of the “antennas” of their respective track between the students and the department Academic Affairs Officer. They are usually students taking courses and majoring in a certain track who will gain as much direct student input on the track and delegate the information to the departmental Academic Affairs Officer, Fellow or Head of Department. Due to this role of facilitating communications within the track, student representatives are legitimised and entitled to bringing forth ideas, initiatives and concerns about their track to the fellow and head of department. In the past, these included ideas of a thesis symposium event, track promotion events, new course collaborations with the fellow, and such. Whilst a regular communication between the AAO and the student representative should be maintained, it is up to the student representative’s own initiative to create impact in their track.
