In semester II students choose one of the language from option group A (1st part) and B (2nd part of the same language course). French, Spanish and German is taught on two levels (Base and Plus). You will receive a language brochure in October with more information on how to choose your language.
Please note that you can also choose Arabic as your language. However, the 3-course Arabic package is not part of the IRIO programme but of the Bachelor Middle Eastern Studies. It is programmed differently, meaning you cannot start with it in semester II of year 1, like the other languages and it is taught in Dutch. The first course is in semester I of year 2 and the final course in semester I of year 3. You will therefore encounter a study delay if you opt for Arabic. For more information, please contact the study advisers IRIO via study.advice.irio@rug.nl.

Students continue with their language of choice.

For IRIO major students:
1. Core modules: students must follow one core module.
2. The BA Thesis and the core module are integrated.
For exchange students:
State your 1st and 2nd preference for a core module with the Mobility Office. The IRIO department will enroll you in either one, depending on student numbers.

These remarks are not applicable for pre-master students.

Check the IRIO core module brochure on Nestor for newly added courses and the most recent overview of core modules on offer.
