Estudios Humanísticos

You can follow a unique bachelor's degree at the University of Humanistics: the bachelor Humanistics. You combine scientific disciplines such as philosophy, psychology and sociology. You will receive practical subjects such as conversation techniques and reflection skills. Moreover, you study the best there is: people and life!

The bachelor Humanistics is a three-year full-time study, which you can follow in the middle of the pleasant center of Utrecht. With 550 students and 80 employees, we offer small-scale, varied and personal education.

Located at the heart of the medieval city centre of Utrecht, the University of Humanistic Studies is a small denominational university that is explicitly inspired by humanist traditions. Our research and education focus on contemporary issues concerning meanings of life and worldviews, and on building a humane society.

Currently around 550 regular students are enrolled at the University in a Bachelor, Master or pre-Master programme of Humanistic Studies, or in the Master programme of Care Ethics and Policy. These programmes are (so far) largely offered in Dutch. Some courses are taught in English and open to exchange students. The University also offers doctorate programmes in the graduate school.

Humanistic Studies is a multidisciplinary science that draws on various disciplines that are used in conjunction whenever appropriate. These disciplines are philosophy, ethics, psychology, education, sociology, history, religious studies, and philosophy of science and scientific methodology.
