Overview

Our programme covers courses on linguistics, political and cultural history, and social sciences, including a stay abroad (optional). You will encounter a broad range of topics: globalisation, migration and minorities, diversity management, and multilingualism.

You learn how to investigate, critically reflect, assess, and act upon these topics. You become able to formulate solutions and produce policy advice that helps organisations and communities deal with diversity.

Key Features

We offer a unique perspective. Minorities and Multilingualism is the only programme of its kind in the Netherlands. Each course is uniquely designed to take the perspective of minorities or multilingualism as its starting point.

One of the things characterising our programme is the focus on intensive working collaborations between staff and students. By prioritising small groups over large auditoriums, the students are guaranteed to have intense contact with our inspiring group of lecturers. Our lecturers are experts in various fields (such as history, linguistics, anthropology, cultural studies), so that you will learn to see the issues surrounding minorities from a variety of perspectives.

The programme is offered by University of Groningen.
