About us University College Groningen Education Project-Based Learning

Overview of our Projects

UCG is the only University College in the Netherlands to require students to work on interdisciplinary projects throughout their bachelor studies.

Year 1

Students are provided with a complex issue to tackle, learning methods of collaborative creativity, problem-solving and decision-making. Year One Project students focus their sense of social responsibility on complex global challenges.

Year 2

Students are given an issue, but required to develop their own research project. We equip our students with the scholarship and methods to acquire and integrate high quality information. This will help them achieve a nuanced understanding of the complexity of the problems that lie before them.

Year 3

Projects are developed and led by students, who develop project-management skills as a result, whilst being supervised by UCG faculty and/or outside experts. These projects create opportunities for our students to develop their professional networks at the same time as integrating information from different disciplines to find innovative solutions.


Over the last few years UCG students worked on some really cool projects.

We also have an overview of projects from before 2020. Check them out!
