Founded in 1998 as the first university college in the Netherlands, we are an honours college of Utrecht University ( #66 in Times Higher Education Ranking 2023). With help of a personal tutor, students compose their own multi-disciplinary curriculum choosing from over 230 different classes in humanities, science and social science.

Classes are interactive and small, with on average 20 students per class. Our 750 students study and live on our American-style campus with guaranteed housing, close to the heart of the historic city of Utrecht. Half of the students are Dutch, half international, representing some 70 different nationalities. Our students are selected against criteria which highlight their academic and extra-curricular potential. A unique spirit of community and participation at the college means that students learn, develop and enjoy life both inside the classroom and outside it. University College Utrecht is where worlds meet. A place to live, learn, explore and engage.
