Welcome to the Euphorion website!
SV Euphorion is the study association for Utrecht University’s bachelor programme Literary Studies, or Literatuurwetenschappen.
As Euphorion, we are student-led association for all students of Literary Studies that aims to connect people by organising many cultural as well as educational activities – from borrels, pub crawls, parties to museum visits, special lectures, our various committees and especially annual trips to literary cities all over Europe!
We have a bi-weekly newsletter that comes with new information about the programme, university as well as some job offers for example and if you become our member you will also get a discount for a lovely bookshop in Utrecht that collaborates with uni.

Modern Language Collaboration is the umbrella study association for modern languages at the UU.
Voorleesexpress (read aloud express) is an initiative to introduce the reading ritual to families with language deficits. A fixed reader comes home to the family every week to read to the children. Many literature students have gone before you, highly recommended!
Het Literatuurhuis (The Literature House) brings literature to the stage. Meet your favorite writer, learn more about that one literary master, discover new books: literature in the broadest sense of the word is covered throughout the year. Poetry during the annual Night of Poetry; poetry slam during the monthly U-Slam and the annual NK Poetry Slam; international literature during the festival City2Cities; literary heritage during the biennial festival Literary Masters and domestic and foreign literature of big and small names during lectures, film screenings and performances throughout the city and in Het Literatuurhuis itself at the Oudegracht. Since September 2013 Het Literatuurhuis has been operating in a monumental building on the Oudegracht, right next to Tivoli. In the back, in the oldest part of the house, is a small room in which small-scale literary programs and film screenings are organized. There are also courses on literary subjects and important authors. At www.hetliteratuurhuis.nl you will find all activities and you can also buy tickets. For students there is a special student card: for only 20 euros you can visit 6 shows of your choice!
Interested in an internship / volunteering? That’s possible!
We always work with trainees, both for publicity and production. We prefer to work with students who have a literary background, and thus study, for example, literary studies. Keep an eye on the website for interesting internship vacancies! We also regularly look for volunteers during our festivals. Does that interest you? Mail to info@hetliteratuurhuis.nl.
