(Updated in 2024)
The HU has an extensive range of minors. It doesn’t matter from which field you are, the HU has a sustainable minor for everyone.
Sustainability is a broad concept. We consider ecological, social and economic sustainability to be important. We ourselves often look at the 17 Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations to show what sustainable development can achieve: from No Hunger (the first goal) to Less Inequality (the tenth goal). We have listed the most sustainable minors for you.*Disclaimer: on this website you only see the minors that use the English language. If you’re interested in sustainable Dutch minors, you can take look on our Dutch website.
First on the list; minors where sustainability (ecological, social and economic) is a main theme. The figures show which Sustainable Development Goal is involved, do you want to know more about this? Click here!

The Minors with sustainability as the main theme focus on at least one of the 17 SDGs. We made this selection by comparing the content of the minors with the targets of the various SDGs. If the content of the minor matches the targets and provides the student with tools to contribute to the targets in the future, he will be included in the list of Minors with sustainability as the main theme. If the minor has a lot of free interpretation, but is aimed at sustainability, and gives the student the opportunity to integrate the SDGs, the minor will be included in the list of Minors with free interpretation. For further questions, feel free to contact us!
This minor has been identified by the Green Office HU as a potential sustainable minor. This means that, if you choose relevant content, the minor can contribute to one or more of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals.
The minors for which this applies are:
Behind the term ‘sustainability’ there is a huge collection of subjects. One of the ways to distinguish all those themes from each other and to get a better picture of what sustainability is, is based on the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In 2015, 193 countries signed this agreement with 17 goals for sustainable development. The majority of minors contribute to one or more of these goals. For example, all minors that deal with health care contribute to Global Goal 3, and all educational minors to Global Goal 4. These are not listed separately in the overview.
