Which minor(s) can I take?

UT offers a lot of minors. The minor tool of options offers you some assistance during the orientation process. By selecting your study programme, you will see a list of all the minors you are allowed to take. Read the course information carefully, additional requirements may apply. 

Read more about the different options UT offers, by clicking down below. If you prefer to view the tool fullscreen, click here. Make sure to look at the starting moment. Minors of the first and second semester are shown in the tool of options. All minors are 15 credits (except for Leren Lesgeven and ICR&TIST, which can also be taken for 30 credits), even though sometimes you see 0 credits in the tool.

Select your course programme to see the minors you are allowed to do. It is possible to export the list of minors to Excel.

Possible additional requirements

Always read the course information (click on the name of the minor in the tool of options). Please pay special attention to possible additional requirements (assumed previous knowledge). Check also whether the minor is held in the (for you) suitable language.

Did you sign up for minors in the past, but you did not complete or do them and did not de-register yet? Let the minor organisation (minor@utwente.nl) know. If you sign up for a minor, you sign up to do the complete minor unless there is an overlap in Mathematics. If you have any questions, contact us via minor@utwente.nl.

Overlap mathematics

If there is overlap in the mathematics part, you must take a substitute course. If there is a possible overlap, this is shown in the minor tool of options and the course catalogue. The standard substitute course for this is Introduction to Mathematical Analysis in various EC-variants (depending on amount of EC + starting block of the mathematics component in the chosen minor). The course codes are:

201600166

Introduction to Mathematical Analysis  

2 EC

1A

201400385

Introduction to Mathematical Analysis  

3 EC

1B; 2A

201600167

Introduction to Mathematical Analysis

4 EC

1A

If there is an overlap in the mathematics component, check with your study advisor to see if you qualify for a substitute course and, if so, which variant you should take. You must register for the substitute course in OSIRIS yourself. Also, let the contact person of the minor know that you will not take the mathematics part of the minor so that your results will be registered correctly. inschrijven/yitschrijven

If you want to deviate from the standard subject, you will have to ask permission from your own program, but also from the program offering the substitute course. Not all components can be followed just like that, so you might not get permission.

Introduction to Mathematical Analysis cannot be chosen by Applied Mathematics (AM) students as a substitute course. AM students should contact the AM bachelor coordinator. Also, it is not a course of the fourth quartile, so for this quartile, you will have to do this by self-study. At the end of the fourth quartile, an exam can be taken. This is the resit for the third module.
