Why Utrecht University? Quick links Lonely Planet: “Utrecht underestimated” Utrecht is one of the most underestimated cities in the world, says travel guide publisher Lonely Planet. On their list of ‘10 of the world’s unsung places’ Utrecht ranks 6th. Lonely Planet suggests that the vicinity of our nation’s capital may be to blame: “Perhaps it’s the lure of Amsterdam that leads people to forget Utrecht. Whatever the reason, this graceful city is bizarrely under- visited. Its old town is encircled by a medieval canal, and you can hop on a boat tour to visit the city’s bustling, vibrant wharves. Built to connect the canal side with Utrecht’s impressive townhouses, today these unique spaces are filled with bohemian cafes, shops, restaurants and bars.” Utrecht City 10 of the world’s unsung places Lonely Planet’s Utrecht listing International students about Utrecht: • “Everyone speaks English!” • “They do everything by bike!” • “Utrecht University has really sparked my enthusiasm” • “It only takes three hours to cross the country” Orientation About Utrecht University: • Utrecht University is one of Europe’s leading research universities. • Ranked 1st in the Netherlands, 16th in Europe and 57th in the world by the prestigious Shanghai Academic Rankings of World Universities 2014. • Utrecht has won 12 Nobel prizes About the Faculty of Humanities: Accommodation The Faculty of Humanities is home to the disciplines of history, art, philosophy, music, literature, language, religious studies, and media. Our education and research in these fields are centered around Western culture, from classical antiquity to the present day, examined from a global perspective. Within this broad context, the faculty has earned a special reputation in certain fields, such as linguistics, economic and social history, philosophy and gender studies. Stay connected!
