Minor Sustainable Development
Description of the Minor "Sustainable Development" (30 EC)
Introduction
A minor is a half year study (30 EC) during your bachelor program. The content of this study can be totally different from your major program. At Leiden University you can attend a minor during the first semester of the third year of the bachelor.
This year, the minor will consist of three courses, of 12, 8 and 10 EC. You can follow these courses separately, but you will have to ask permission from your exam commission. However, the minor is most valuable if folowed completely.
Information about the amount of EC reserved for electives in your program is available at the minor-website of Leiden University (in Dutch).
The minor “Sustainable Development” has an interdisciplinary character and is designed for studies of all faculties. This means that it does not matter whether you study humanities, natural sciences or social sciences. The minor “Sustainable Development” is open for everyone.
