Our curriculum: Majors & Minors
As a GRL student, you are able to combine your interests into one programme - whether you like psychology or economics, philosphy or climate science, you're given the freedom to build your own curriculum!
➡ Overview
You will take a number of compulsory courses and combine this with electives of your own choice. Your programme consists of the following main elements:
Foundation
|
In your first year, you explore the main disciplines represented in GRL in six courses.
|
Skills Lab
|
The Skills Lab provides you with tools in academic communication and research methodology, as well as intercultural competences and leadership skills.
|
Major
|
At the end of your first year, you select your Major and determine your own path throughout the GRL programme.
|
Minor
|
The third-year minor allows you to broaden or deepen your programme. Spend a semester abroad, take specialized courses, or complete an internship!
|
Leadership
|
All students complete a Leadership line throughout their programme, consisting of personal Leadership Labs, a second-year course on ethics, and the Living Lab research internship.

➡ Major
Your Major, which you choose at the end of your first year, is the biggest part of your GRL journey (worth 95 ECTS). Each Major consists of two main tracks. It is also possible to combine your fields of interest by taking some courses from a different Major - for example, you could Major in Politics, Philosophy and Economics, while also taking a few Psychology & Global Health courses. Our dedicated GRL study advisor Maaike is there to help you figure out your path!
➡ Minor
During your fifth semester, you have the opportunity to enrich your programme with an exchange, internship, minor or pre-master. This allows you to gain academic experience and perspectives outside of Campus Fryslân, or learn how to apply the knowledge you have gathered so far to real-world challenges. You can explore new areas of interest, for instance, if you are interested in entrepreneurship or tourism, or specialise in a field you would like to pursue after you have obtained your degree. Here's some examples of student stories:
UCF within the University of Groningen
University College Fryslân (UCF) is an integral part of the faculty of Campus Fryslân (CF) and the larger University of Groningen (UG). CF is a connected knowledge institution with five research departments related to societal themes in- and outside the region, ranging from big data to regenerative agriculture. As an undergraduate, you will therefore have the unique opportunity to work closely together with academics from all levels and participate in research!
