Free electives are courses taken in addition to required and elective courses but that do not need to relate to your degree programme.

You can further specialise by choosing from a variety of elective course(s) offered at Radboud University or by doing an internship. Internships are not mandatory, but we strongly support students who wish to arrange one and can help you find a suitable position in the Netherlands or abroad.
