In cooperation with Leiden University and TU Delft, the EUR offers Leiden-Delft-Erasmus minors (joint-LDE minors). These minors are provided by all three universities, this means that you need to attend classes at two or three of the LDE-partners. The joint-LDE minors are offered in two variants: 15 EC and 30 EC.

Minors in Delft are – with a few exceptions – 30 EC. Minors in Delft have to be completed for 30 EC. Only some specific minors can be completed for 15 EC. This is clearly stated in the minor format. The minor period in Delft is up until the beginning of February.
Most minors at the EUR are 15 EC. Extra EC are extracurriculair to the 180 EC of your own study program. If you would like to add the extra EC to your study program, you need the approval from your own Exam Committee.
