What makes us special?
What is University College Groningen?
UCG was founded in 2014 as a selective, independent Liberal Arts and Sciences faculty within the University of Groningen. Nested within one of the world’s top 100 universities, we produce a new kind of graduate that is able to respond to the complex, interdisciplinary problems of the 21st century.
Our Liberal Arts and Sciences programme is in the heart of a city renowned for its nightlife and live music scene. And while we all know that the bars never close here, Groningen is more importantly known as a world leader in green transportation, arts and cultural engagement, scientific exploration, and social innovation.
