Bachelor
Double degree with Philosophy (Wijsbegeerte van een bepaald Wetenschapsgebied)
★ StudyPath verdict
7.5/10
Best for students adding philosophical depth to another bachelor; unique double-degree structure at a strong research university. Trade-off is coordinating two programmes with less standalone philosophy breadth than a dedicated BA.
