Minor programmes
Minor programme, sometimes called specialisation, is an interdisciplinary set of courses that you can select freely and make up your own itinerary of 30 ECTS throughout your Bachelor studies. EU-CONEXUS Minors, offered at 7 EU-CONEXUS universities, is a great way to add value to your studies: not only will you gain insights to the subject matter, but you’ll also study with classmates from all over Europe and learn how to work in the intercultural virtual classroom.
Depending on your main study programme at your university you can choose EU-CONEXUS Minor as a part of your Bachelor study path or additionally.
You can either:
- Complete the whole Minor programme of 30 ECTS throughout your Bachelor studies (for example, take one Minor course during each semester). To do this, you’ll have to take 5 Minor courses from 3 different universities and 2 different thematic sectors
or
- Take individual courses, as many as you like!
For more details on how to plan you itinerary talk to your Minor Officer (check out Contacts section below).
