AUC to accept late applications for September 2024

Apply between 1 April and 1 May

AUC will accept late applications from students from the EU/EEA looking to apply as a Sciences or Humanities major with a start date of September 2024. AUC will not be accepting late applications for the Social Sciences major, and due to important immigration deadlines for obtaining entry and/or residence permits to start your studies on time, students without an EU/EEA nationality (and those who are not already in possession of a permanent residence permit from an EU/EEA country) cannot be considered for the late application deadline.

AUC offers a Bachelor's degree in the Liberal Arts and Sciences. You choose one of three interdisciplinary majors: Humanities, Social Sciences or Sciences. The programme is taught at the honours level, in English, and welcomes both Dutch and international students.

Many of the most important issues facing society today are too complex or wide-ranging to be dealt with using the knowledge and methodology of one single subject area. The AUC programme places a great deal of emphasis on teaching you how to integrate insights from different perspectives, and to work across the traditional boundaries between subjects and fields. You will become an interdisciplinary expert in your field!
