UCG’s Liberal Arts and Sciences is again a top rated programme

10 November 2026

UCG’s Liberal Arts and Sciences programme has once again been awarded the Top Rated Programme seal by the Dutch Higher Education Guide (Keuzigids)! With a score of 76 out of 100, our bachelor’s programme has earned this recognition for its strong educational quality, interdisciplinary approach and supportive learning environment.
For our Dean, Joke Fleer, the value of a Liberal Arts and Sciences education goes beyond academic knowledge:


"What I value most about our LAS program is that it encourages students to look beyond the boundaries of their own discipline, to question assumptions, and to engage thoughtfully with different perspectives. At UCG, I see how our small-scale, international community and our commitment to student-centred learning help young people grow not only as academics, but also as individuals who are confident in their own thinking and open to the world around them. For me, that is the true value of a LAS education: preparing students not simply for a career, but for a meaningful and engaged life."

Besides Liberal Arts and Sciences, 7 other Bachelor's degree programmes of the University of Groningen earned the accolade of Top Degree Programme. The University of Groningen as a whole ranked second in the category Comprehensive Classical Universities.
