Religious Studies is a top rated programme!

30 November 2023

On 30 November, the new Keuzegids Universities was released. The Keuzegids is an independent consumer guide that assesses and compares the quality of all degree programmes. And what we have long known is now in black and white: Religious Studies is a top rated programme, and received the higherst score of all Religious Studies programmes in the Netherlands!

Each programme is assessed in the Keuzegids on two aspects: student opinions and performance grades. Student ratings count for 71.4% and performance grades for 28.6%. It shows whether a programme scores at, below or above average compared to the national average of university bachelors. Five areas are assessed: content, lecturers, testing, career preparation and atmosphere. This eventually results in an overall score. Religious Studies scored 85 out of 100 points and thus received five stars.
