HollandThe Dutch combine history andtraditional culture with innova-tion, modernism and an interna-tional orientation. While Hollandlikes to emphasize its highlyindustrialized features, the Dutchhave not let go of their back-ground, often making use of thepossibility to go for a quiet strollalong the historic canals that runthrough town.

Holland, or the NetherlandsThe Netherlands is a kingdom. Itsofficial name is the Kingdom ofthe Netherlands. It consists of theNetherlands itself and Aruba,Curaçao, and Sint Maarten, in theCaribbean Sea. The country’s namein Dutch is Nederland, meaning‘low country’ and referring to thefact that much of the land is at orbelow sea level. Today theNetherlands is also called’Holland‘, a name that is derivedfrom the names of two westerncoastal provinces, North and SouthHolland. These provinces were the

most developed and wealthiestparts of the country in the seven-teenth century and they played adominant role in the country’s his-tory.

GeographyHolland is situated in the west ofEurope and borders Germany tothe east, Belgium to the south andthe North Sea to the north andwest. This small country lies at thepoint where the German, Britishand French cultures meet. Whatstrikes people most when theyfirst arrive in Holland is the land-scape: the country is extremelyflat. While there are some hillyareas in the southeast corner ofthe country, even these barelyinfringe on the broad, unbrokenexpanse of sky that is so character-istic of the Dutch landscape.Moreover, water can be foundeverywhere, in the form of lakes,rivers, canals and the sea. Holland’srelatively small area of slightlyover 41,000 square kilometres ishome to over 16 million people.

SocietyDutch society is home to over 190different nationalities living in itsmany cities and villages. Fordecades, the country’s historicalties with other parts of the worldhave brought people of non-Dutchorigin to settle in Holland, whichmakes the Dutch generally open-minded, freedom loving and toler-ant towards foreigners. This cultur-al diversity has made Holland aplace where knowledge, ideas andcultures from all over the worldcome together. Although Dutch isthe national language, the majori-ty of the population also speaksEnglish and very often another for-eign language, such as German orFrench.

MentalityThe Netherlands is a ‘self-servicecountry’. The Dutch try to managemost things themselves, whichmakes them very independent andorganized. Another distinctivecharacteristic of the Dutch is theiropenness and direct manner of

7

acting and speaking. You willnotice that you can say exactlywhat is on your mind, as the Dutchare not easily offended. Dutch soci-ety is organized in a non-hierarchi-cal way. For example, teacherstend to be very accessible and trueinterlocutors for their students.You will be on familiar terms witheverybody in almost no time.

Utrecht CityThe history of the city goes back to47 AD when the Roman emperorClaudius ordered his generalCorbulo to build a defensive linealong the river Rhine, which wasthe northern most border of theempire. One of the strongholds (orCastella) along the river was builtat a crossing in the river and wascalled Traiectum (which meanscrossing place). In the local lan-guage this became Trecht, Uut-Trecht (lower-Trecht) and laterUtrecht. At the place where oncethe castellum stood now standsthe Dom church built in the 13thcentury.

Nowadays, Utrecht is a lively cityin the geographical centre of theNetherlands. It is not only animportant junction where traffic,trade, distribution and servicesmeet and mingle, but also a trueknowledge centre: apart fromUtrecht University and the HUUniversity of Applied Sciences, ithouses important research insti-tutes and several other institutesof higher education. With its300,000 inhabitants, Utrecht is thefourth largest city in theNetherlands and with no less than70,000 of the inhabitants beingstudents, Utrecht is a true studentcity.

Several canals crisscross the cityand encircle the city centre. TheDom tower is the focal point of thecity: with a height of 112 meters, itoffers a magnificent view over thecity. To the south of the Dom is thecity’s museum quarter. There youwill find a varied offering of excel-lent museums in a setting of pic-turesque courtyards, unexpected

small restaurants and delightfullittle shops.

Along the canals you will find arare phenomenon, of whichUtrecht citizens are extremelyproud: the wharves. Thesewharves, which provide directaccess to cellars, were used for theloading and unloading of shipsand the storage of goods in theMiddle Ages. These days, they aremostly used as outdoor terraces forrestaurants. Sitting by the water,you can enjoy a drink or a meallooking over the decoratively litcanal.

In terms of culture, Utrecht is areal festival city, with festivals likethe Spring Dance Festival, theHolland Early Music Festival, TheHolland Animation Festival andthe Dutch Film Festival. When nothosting a festival, Utrecht is thestage for ‘Cultural Sundays’ - cul-tural events inspired by a location,theme or particular art form.

Inaddition, with 1,560 internationalstudy programmes and courses, ithas the largest offer of continentalEurope.

Today, both Italian Renaissance art and Dutch GoldenAge art have conquered their prime positions in theart history books. But in the 16th and 17th centuries,the ‘Northern’ style of painting was seen as very dif-ferent from the ‘Southern’ one. Even though artistsfrom both traditions influenced each other, there wereongoing disputes about which style was the best one.This course offers an opportunity to travel back intime and experience the art from both traditions firsthand, staying in two cities that played a pivotal partin their country’s art: Florence and Utrecht.

Evolution of LanguageFaculty of Humanities (UU)

Human language is complex and results from inter-acting simpler systems, which each may have had along evolutionary history of its own. Nevertheless,the way these modules are integrated into a workingsystem has been novel as well as recent. Relevantquestions that will be addressed in this courseinclude: Which systems are uniquely human (species-specific) and uniquely linguistic (domain-specific)?Did core properties of human language evolve gradu-ally and adaptively from gestural or vocal systems ofanimal communication? Or was their evolution salta-tional and exaptive? What was the primary functionof language? Communication or an efficient way oforganising cognitive systems?

Introduction to GenerativeSyntaxFaculty of Humanities (UU)

In this course, students will be taught the basics ofthe theoretical framework evolved from and based onChomsky (1981). One of Chomsky’s main innovationswas to give linguistics the formal tools to study lan-guage. The formal tools of generative linguisticsenabled linguists to explore the complexity of sen-tence structure and sentence meaning. The theoryaccounts for the creativity of human language; thecharacteristic that makes human language unlike thecommunication system of any other animal. Topicscovered will include phrase structure, complementa-tion, case and theta-theory, and movement.


Micro &Macro Variation inLanguageFaculty of Humanities (UU)

In this course, linguistic variation across human lan-guages is studied from two comparative perspectives.In the first part of the course students are introducedto the field of macro variation, the systematic studyof the similarities and differences between theworld’s more than 5000 natural languages. The sec-ond part of the course focuses on the study of microvariation – the study of language systems that arevery similar, such as closely related languages, ordialects of the same language. We will look at microvariation from a syntactic point of view, and discussthe relevance of phenomena such as syntactic dialectvariation for linguistic theory.


Statistics for ExperimentalLinguistsFaculty of Humanities (UU)

This crash course is meant as a basic introduction tostatistical treatment of experimental data. Attentionwill be given to description of data and to basic ideassuch as sampling, chance levels and hypothesis test-ing. Furthermore, the question of how to design anexperiment that might prove/disprove your theorywill be discussed. The programme is rather ambi-tious, so students should prepare the assigned chap-ters before coming to class. In class, the material willbe discussed and we will go into some of the exercis-es.



PsycholinguisticsFaculty of Humanities (UU)

The course will explore the notion of ‘first-person’ inlanguage, psychology, and neuroscience. We will tryto understand what we mean when we say ‘I, me,mine, ...’; what is the mental object, if there is one,that corresponds to our intuitive notion of ‘self’, andwhat are the neurological underpinnings of ourcapacities of self-awareness and self-reference. Thecourse does not presuppose previous knowledge ofthe subject or background knowledge of linguistics,psychology, or neurocognitive science.


BilingualismFaculty of Humanities (UU)

Ask someone their opinion on bilingualism andyou’re likely to hear statements such as: ‘Learningtwo languages from birth confuses children andimpairs their cognitive development’, ‘Bilingual chil-dren can’t speak either of their two languages prop-erly’ or ‘You can only become bilingual if you startacquiring your second language as a young child.’Though common currency among the general public,each of these statements is in fact a myth. In thiscourse, you will discover why this is the case as wereview some of the most important findings from theresearch on bilingual children.

On the one hand, cities are economic engines andcentres of innovation and culture. They attract peopleto live, work and study. They are where new ideasemerge, where capital accumulates and where trendsin culture, lifestyle and entertainment begin. On theother hand, major cities also have concentrations ofpoverty, social problems, unemployment as well aspollution, congestion and issues of affordability.While the benefits of urban life are plentiful, thesechallenges continue to grow. The aim of this twoweek course is to familiarise students with the majorissues confronting European and North Americancities of the 21st century and the various ways inwhich these challenges are being addressed.

Land Governance forDevelopmentFaculty of Geosciences (UU)

Globalisation, neoliberal governance and new tech-nologies have opened the way for new, often externalactors to acquire land in developing countries. Largetracts of land are being bought up for growing bio-fuels and food for export, which may clash with exist-ing land use and local interests. As a result, access toand use of land is being reshaped profoundly. Thismeans that land governance in developing countrieshas to find ways to deal with multiple pressures andcompeting claims. The course will introduce studentsto the multiple dimensions of land governance froma development perspective. Students will acquireknowledge on new land pressures and learn how toplace these in broader theoretical debates.

Introduction to MultilevelAnalysisFaculty of Social and Behavioural Sciences (UU)

Social research often involves problems that investi-gate the relationship between individual and society.The general concept is that individual persons areinfluenced by the social groups or contexts to whichthey belong, and that the properties of those groupsare in turn influenced by the individuals who makeup that group. Generally, the individuals and thesocial groups are conceptualized as a hierarchical sys-tem of individuals and groups, with individuals andgroups defined at separate levels of this system. Theappropriate analysis technique for such a hierarchi-cal system is multilevel analysis. In this course thebenefits of multilevel analysis are discussed.

PharmacoeconomicsFaculty of Science (UU)

Today’s society is confronted with ever increasinghealth care costs. One of the factors is the cost of druginnovations. Diseases waiting for therapeutic solu-tions are complicated and multifactorial in nature. Asa result, drug innovation has become even more com-plex, leading to high tech and therefore high costsolutions. The question arises: what is the addedvalue of such high cost innovations and how can it bedetermined when both benefit and harm are consid-ered? Health economics, and more specifically phar-macoeconomics, aims to provide a neutral scientificapproach to this challenge.
