Máster en Humanísticas

The master Humanistics is a scientific study with a lot of attention for your personal development and practical experience. You will study contemporary questions about meaning, philosophy and the organization of a humane society.

The master Humanistics takes three years full-time. You study in the middle of the attractive center of Utrecht. The university has 550 students and 80 employees, which means we can provide small-scale, varied and personal education to everyone.

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.
