over recent decades our world has become more interdependent and, with these deeper connections, comes an enhanced need for enlightened citizenship; our degree in dutch and history of art offers expert teaching and learning in both language acquisition and intercultural contexts that will equip students to thrive in today’s global society. over the four years, you will deepen your knowledge of the dutch language and history of art, while also developing valuable skills in cultural literacy and critical thinking. your degree will be studied on a 50/50 ratio between dutch and history of art. in your first, second and final years you will take language modules in dutch and the literature, culture, history and linguistics related to it, as well as modules in your other discipline history of art, (visit the history of art department website for further details about modules). you may also take modules offered by the school of european languages, culture & society (selcs), which offer an interdisciplinary perspective, drawing on the full range of specialisms within the school. your third year is spent abroad in a country where your selcs language is spoken, studying at a university or doing a work placement. we expect graduates to achieve the same linguistic competence whether or not they started from beginner level.
