Experience Day at the Humanities Faculty

Check out the stories of visitors to the Experience Day!

  • Pol (16) on Linguistics: “I find etymology very interesting, but there are no specific programmes on that topic. Linguistics is what comes closest.”
  • Zef (22) on History: “Finishing my first year of History on a university of applied sciences allows for me to continue this subject on a research university level.”
  • Julien (18) from Paris on International Studies: “Because of the Experience Day I’ve gained a good picture of the programme. I’ve made up my mind, in September I’m moving to The Hague!”
  • Marissa and Marieke on Film and Literary Studies: “In high school, topics are explained on a general level, whereas at university you join a group of students who consciously chose to explore a subject.”
  • Willem and Mineke on Art History: “It was so much fun! During the tutorial answers weren’t right or wrong because it was about your interpretation. That was a completely new experience for me.”
  • Iris on Arts, Media and Society: “What attracts me in this programme is the focus on arts and media.”
