The RUG stimulates its students to be ambitious. Because no two students have exactly the same talents, motivations and interests, the RUG offers a great number of programmes. At the same time, the RUG creates an international educational environment, applies international themes in the courses and stimulates international exchange.
The RUG offers courses in over sixty three-year Bachelor’s programmes and more than a hundred one or two-year Master’s programmes in practically any academic field.
The RUG continually tests the quality of its courses against the highest international standards. Programmes that receive positive evaluations are given room to develop further, whereas a dissatisfactory evaluation will lead to a specific plan for quality improvement. Further, the RUG spends extra money on promising educational innovation projects.
Different shapes and sizes
Extra opportunities lie ahead for students who study fast and easily. They can develop further in depth or breadth and can follow a weighted ‘honours’ course within their Bachelor’s programme.
Students who perform ‘ordinarily well’ can make many choices of their own, such as picking courses from different programmes.
In addition to the regular Master’s programmes, the RUG offers Top Master’s programmes taught in English, closely related to the research schools. These programmes have been specifically designed for young, talented researchers.
International podium for education
The RUG is an international educational environment. It caters for more and more foreign students and lecturers and many Dutch students follow part of their programme at a partner university abroad. RUG students thus gain a great deal of experience in preparation for an international career. This is also the reason why many of the RUG’s programmes apply international themes in their courses.
