Admission

The minor in Dutch studies is open to students enrolled on baccalaureates in "languages and literature" (modern or ancient or combined).  Students interested in taking this minor course must demonstrate the necessary motivation and possess a certain amount of knowledge (and skills) from the outset.

Indeed, in order to get onto the minor course, students need to meet the minimum standard as defined by the Council of Europe as "A2" or "Basic user" (cf. "Common European Framework of Reference for Languages : Learning, teaching, Assessment", Council of Europe, CUP, 2001). This minimum knowledge should - in theory - be a given if the student has performed well in this language in the humanities section over a four year period during which the language was taught on at least a two-hour weekly basis.
