About UCL’s centre for Dutch Studies
In 1919, the first academic chair in Dutch Studies was held by Pieter Geyl at UCL.
We are now one of the leading centres of excellence in both teaching and research in the field of Dutch and Flemish language and culture.
Our research interests are varied, broadly encompassing: Dutch language, sociolinguistics of the Dutch language area, Dutch literature, political and cultural history of the Low Countries, especially the modern and contemporary period, translation studies and comparative literature.
We organise a range of cultural events, often in association with other centres and institutions. We play a prominent part in various national and international organisations concerned with Dutch Studies and have excellent contacts with universities in the Netherlands, Belgium and further afield.
