  • Bachelor of Arts in Dutch Studies; Most Dutch-speakers live in the Netherlands and Flanders – the northern part of Belgium – but Dutch is also spoken in Surinam, on Aruba and the rest of The Netherlands Antilles. Furthermore, Afrikaans, one of the official languages of South Africa, which is spoken by some six million people, is closely related to Dutch. During your study you not only learn Dutch, but you also study the language to gain insight into its structure and development. Did you know, for example, that such words as ‘cookie’ and ‘boss’ originate from Dutch? As a student of Dutch Studies, you are not just concerned with the language. In the course of the programme you will also be studying the visual arts of the Low Lands. You will examine Dutch literature, linguists and (art) history. You will acquire all the skills necessary to obtain a full understanding of Dutch culture and society.
  • Master of Arts in Dutch Studies; The Master’s programme in Neerlandistiek / Dutch Studies welcomes both Dutch and international students. It is a broad multi-disciplinary programme that stretches from the Middle Ages to the present day. The programme content covers all regions of the world where Dutch language and culture play or have played a role, and is placed in an international and interdisciplinary context. You can conduct research on your favourite author or on translated literature, study changes in the Dutch language, investigate argumentative and rhetorical aspects of language use, or make a more in-depth study of the history and art history of the Low Countries.
