University minors are widely accessible: bachelor students from all faculties can register for these minors. For some minors there are admission requirements.
As a VU Amsterdam student, you do not need prior permission from your Examination Board for university minors in order for the 30 EC of this minor to count towards the electives of your degree programme. If a certain course from the university minor is already part of your regular courses, you will not be able to (completely) follow this minor as courses cannot be counted twice. In that case, ask the Examination Board for permission to fill your elective space. A university minor can also be followed extracurricularly.
