* University College Utrecht is the international Honors College of Utrecht University. UCU offers an academic education in the spirit of liberal arts and sciences. Students and teachers are eager to excel in a small-scale educational setting. Students have great freedom to develop an individual course of studies under the guidance of a personal tutor. This allows them to express their individual talents to the very best of their abilities, and that is precisely what we expect of them.
