Minors

Your minor tailors your programme to suit your passions, while expanding your career choices. On this page you'll see what options are available to you.

What is a minor?

Minors are courses worth between 15 and 30 ECTS that complement your major programme in your 3rd or 4th year. They can be at your own or another faculty, or even at another Dutch university through the Kies-op-Maat (‘Choose to fit’) network. You may also study abroad through an exchange. AUAS itself offers 62 English-taught minors including Stories for Change, Startup Your Business In Tech, Circular Amsterdam Mission Zero Waste, Nutrition and Health Promotion, and more.

All the admin, such as transfer of credits, is taken care of between universities – allowing you to choose and go. This gives you a great way to expand your studies and experiences.
