Apply now for the Master Honours Classes of the first semester!
Motivated master’s students with good grades can apply for the interdisciplinary Master Honours Classes. These classes provide students with the opportunity to participate in an in-depth, extracurricular course.

Honours Classes are interdisciplinary, taught on a small scale, and are concerned with complex scientific and societal themes. You can apply if you are enrolled as master’s student at Leiden University, if you have a 7 or higher grade point average for your bachelor, and if you are motivated to attend an extracurricular course.
Upon successful completion, you’ll receive an Honours Class certificate and have your Honours Class mentioned on your diploma supplement as an extra-curricular course.
Classes on offer in 2020-2021
In the first semester we offer three Master Honours Classes:
- Social Innovation in Action (10 EC)
- Circular Economy: from Challenge to Opportunity (10 EC)
- Smart regional integration? Comparative lessons for a lean and legitimate EU (5 EC)
Places are limited to preserve the small-scale nature of the classes. Therefore you may follow one Master Honours Class per academic year.
You can now apply for the Master Honours Classes of the first semester and the deadline to do so is Sunday 27 September 2020 23.59 hrs.
