1 Enrollment (“neveninschrijving”) at Utrecht University is required to follow these courses. Note that all teaching activities take place in Utrecht. Definitive availability and scheduling depends on Utrecht University and are not guaranteed when this document is published.
2 Seminars can be taken from the fourth quarter of your study program onwards. This means that if you enroll in September, you cannot take the seminars in quarter 2 in your first year, but that you have to wait until you have entered the second year. Similarly, if you enroll in February, the seminars in quarter 4 can only be followed in your second year.
3 Capita selecta can only be taken with permission of the responsible lecturer. They can be taken at any time but typically during the second year of your master study.
4 The internship can be followed only after having obtained permission of the internship coordinator.
