Courses for externals

Anyone who is not enrolled at the University of Groningen but would like to learn more about a specific subject at an academic level can take a course for external participants. We offer various courses.

In-company courses

Do you need a customized program, training, or course for your company? Our faculty has a wide range of expertise and topics. Themes vary from archaeology & history, media & communication, politics & society to art & culture, and of course, languages.

Options can range from an intensive course on training media professionals about the principles of media literacy, fact-checking techniques, and critical analysis of news sources in the digital age, to a session where we provide a short training on cultural sensitivity and diversity. Or perhaps your company needs an annual refresher course on leadership in the cultural sector. Our experts are happy to brainstorm with you!

The customized training programs (or Incompany programs) can be organized in our city, or we can come to your location.
