Minorities and Multilingualism

Voted #1 BA programme at the University of Groningen in the National Student Survey 2016! Minorities & Multilingualism is an English taught BA-track. The courses deal with the political and historical aspects of minorities and multiculturalism in combination with courses in linguistics and multilingualism. Students will become experts in the field of minority groups and multilingualism. We also offer students the opportunity to specialise in one particular minority language. The student can do so by either taking optional courses offered at the University of Groningen (for example specialisation Frisian), courses offered by other higher education institutions in the Netherlands (where a number of minority language modules are taught), or spend a term at a university abroad learning about a minority language situation elsewhere in the world.
