As research becomes increasingly multidisciplinary, it makes good sense to do a minor during your Bachelor’s programme. A minor is a coherent package of electives worth 15-30 EC that allows you to broaden your knowledge or prepare for a particular Master’s programme. By doing a minor, you fill in the elective space in your programme in a structured way. Have a look at the minor guide for possible minors.
