Study Abroad Minor FoA | Radboud University

In an increasingly globalized world, it is important to have knowledge of other countries and our position in the world. Studying abroad is not only a good way to acquire new knowledge but also to improve your language skills and to get to know another culture better. A stay abroad also contributes to your personal development, and, as such, can be considered an asset for future employers. The Faculty of Arts has an extensive network of foreign universities and will help you find courses that are relevant for your Bachelor’s programme.

Study abroad: major or elective courses in semester 2

While you are studying abroad, your fellow students in Nijmegen are not only taking courses from the minor they chose, but are also taking one or two courses (10 EC total) from your own degree programme.

In the following overview you can see if you need to take these major courses in the second semester of if you can choose one or more electives.

Please note: Check whether all courses are in the right place in your SVO (study progress overview). If this is not the case, send an email to the STIP (stip [at] let.ru.nl (stip[at]let[dot]ru[dot]nl)) in which you indicate which course(s) replace the major course(s) of the first semester. If you want to replace the major course(s) with courses from different disciplinary packages OR from other faculties/universities, you have to submit a request to the Examination Board (request a custom (inter)disciplinary package).

If the PDF file indicates that a request to the examination board is required, submit such a request first. Upon processing the official decision of the examination board, your SVO will be updated.
