The Bachelor programme Dutch Studies is a three year programme for non-native speakers of Dutch with a special interest in the Dutch language, culture and society. Approximately one third of the programme is dedicated to language acquisition, the rest of the curriculum are introductory courses on Dutch linguistics, literature, history and art history. The language of instruction in the first term of the first year is English, from the second term of the first year on, the language of instruction is Dutch, except for the course Philosophy of Science.

The first and second year consist of compulsory courses. In the second term of the second year students chose their specialization: Culture or Linguistics. In the third year students have 30 EC of Elective Credits to spend on courses outside of the programme. There are different options to choose from: minor, internship or an individual selection of courses. Students also need to follow 2 in-depth subjects, depending on their specialization. Finally, they write a BA-thesis on a Dutch Studies topic, either about Dutch culture or language

Students who started the Dutch Studies programme before 2020-2021 could finish the programme ‘old style’ until September 1 2023.
