Programme



Major-Minor Programme Model

In choosing a major, students choose their core subject area. They can choose one or two minors to deepen the competencies acquired in their major or to expand these competencies across disciplines. Alternatively, they can also choose open courses to form an Individual Area of Study (ISB). 


Possible minors for this major


Individual Area of Study 

Instead of a minor, students can also choose an Individual Area of Study (ISB). Courses chosen as part of an ISB are cross-disciplinary and subject to special admissions requirements. The number of places on such courses is limited.
