RASL minor: Re-imagining tomorrow through Arts and Sciences

Academic Core Courses
The academic core consists of four academic skills courses and five interdisciplinary courses (45EC in total). The Core is required for all students and is designed to impart essential academic knowledge regarding what every well educated student should know about life and society. The ACC courses are scheduled in year 1 and 2 of the Double Degree programme. More information about the academic core.

 

Major
A major is a cohesive selection of courses, consisting of at least 60EC, that together constitute a specialisation. Erasmus University College offers majors in four different areas: Humanities, Economics & Business, Social & Behavioural Sciences, and Life Sciences. Please note that some of the majors are excluded from the programme, such as for example PPE, the Medical Track or Double Majors. You will take your first major course in the second semester of year 2. More information about the majors offered at EUC. 

 

Electives
Instead of electives you will take courses at Willem de Kooning Academy. This means that 60EC of the required courses at WdKA will be registered as EUC electives. This allows you to graduate from both programmes in five years instead of seven.

 

Capstone (bachelor thesis)
For every student of Erasmus University College (EUC), the final part of their studies will be the capstone (15EC). The capstone is a research based project that can take on different forms, depending on a student’s major and preferences. More information about the capstone.
