The academic year at UCV splits into two semesters. Each semester consists of two course periods of seven weeks, followed by a three-week project period. In each semester the course load is about 40 hours per week. This includes 12-14 hours in class. The remainder will be spent on self-study and assignments.

You create your own interdisciplinary programme from approximately 100 courses. There are two specialisations: social sciences (psychology, sociology, economics, health management, public health, and law) and life sciences (biology, chemistry, computer science, and physiology).

You can also focus on sustainability through a variety of courses, including Sustainable Development, Sustainable Food Production, Sustainability and Social Justice or Social and Environmental Entrepreneurship. Our emphasis on entrepreneurship is evident in all aspects of the programme, so if you wish to start your own business later, you have come to the right spot.
