Humanities

The Utrecht Summer School offers a large number of academic courses in the humanities. Together with our international partners we give you the opportunity to discuss central issues in European integration, cultural diversity within the European continent or European history and its politics and economy. With the ancient city of Utrecht as a starting point, you can study the development of Dutch identity, present-day Dutch society and the role of the Netherlands on the international stage. Other exciting topics covered this summer include Religion, Posthuman Theory and International Relations in Europe.
