At University College Groningen, you will have the chance to study three majors: Sciences , Social Sciences or Humanities . Every major offers numerous courses that you can freely combine centred around your own academic interests and ambitions. To offer some more guidance in this process, UCG has combined a number of courses into fields of studies that highlight UCG's academic expertise. Students can focus on one particular field of study or combine different fields of study into an interdisciplinary major, like Philosophy, Politics, and Economics (PPE), Cognitive Sciences, or Social Media Business. Please find an overview of our fields of study here:

Sciences

Social Sciences

Humanities

There is also the possibility of a Free Major ; in which you transcend disciplinary boundaries and create your own programme by combining courses from the Humanities, Sciences and/or Social Sciences.
