New minor in 'Culture and Society in Morocco'
Students interested in the study of Morocco can enroll in the brand new English-taught minor ‘Culture and Society in Morocco’, starting in September 2016 at the NIMAR institute in Rabat. The minor is accessible for all students of the Humanities and Social Sciences in The Netherlands.
The programmeDuring the minor programme, you will immerse yourself in Moroccan culture during three months and become specialists on contemporary Morocco. Classes, taught by several Moroccan and foreign academics, will cover Moroccan history, society, politics and more. Besides following classes, you will participate in many excursions within Rabat, and also go on a five-day field work trip to the Moroccan countryside.
RabatRabat is the capital of Morocco and is a well-organised, safe city on the Atlantic coast. It’s a great place for students to get to know North-African life. Souhaib Ben Kchouh, who studied an earlier NIMAR programme in Rabat, tells about his study experience in the city: “Rabat seems Westernised but it’s not hard to find new experiences. Each day seems to have an adventure of its own and there is an endless amount of cafes in Rabat to explore for socialising with people and for getting the homework done.”
