We are proud to launch a new musical series showcasing the creative talent of our students and alumni through original songwriting and performance.

The first release in this series is Nostos, written and performed by Emma Lune Vassilacos and Lara Yoko Sofia Richter. Performed at our graduation ceremony in Tivoli last week and now available on Spotify, the song reflects on memory, belonging, and the journey of finding one’s place in the world.

Three years ago, Lara responded to Emma’s introduction post about writing a song together. What began as a simple collaboration evolved into Nostos, a conversation between past and future selves, exploring themes of loss and hope, uncertainty and growth.

In Ancient Greek, Nostos means “return” or “homecoming”, the journey back home after a long absence. Through its lyrics and music, the song offers a reflection on the transitions that shape us and serves as a tribute to the friends and family who become part of our story.

We are especially proud that most of the musicians involved in this recording are graduating this year, making this release a fitting celebration of their creativity, collaboration, and artistic achievement.

Music & Lyrics: Emma Lune (Vassilacos) & Lara Yoko Sofia (Richter)
Producer: Vitan Lesjak
Violin & Electric Guitar: Vit Polasek
Acoustic Guitar: Rose Ashworth

Ever wondered what UCU students get up to during their breaks? 🌍✨

From committee trips to spontaneous solo adventures, from giving back through volunteering to recharging back home, there’s no one way to “do” a break.

This time, our journeys took us from Utrecht to Lithuania, Luxembourg, Paris, Athens, and Prague… and every trip came with its own story. ✈️💫

Physics, literature, biology, philosophy - why choose just one? ✨
We spoke with two UCU students about their Double Degree in Physics and how combining Liberal Arts and Sciences with advanced physics courses at Utrecht University helped shape their academic journeys. From cosmology to biophysics, their stories show how breadth can become a real strength.
