Student experiences
Why join the Honours College? To meet new people, explore other fields of study and further develop yourself academically, professionally and personally, of course! Three honours students share why they chose to do something extra alongside their bachelor's degree.
Celeste
Bachelor: History
Hobby's: Playing the violin in the student orchestra, working out in nature, cooking, meeting with friends
Best thing about honours: Excursions (‘seeing what something is like in practice’)
'Honours is a place where you are challenged. You learn to think differently, meet motivated fellow students and have a lot of contact with lecturers. You are not looked at oddly if you ask a lot of questions. My honours classes are always the highlight of my week.'
'I think a big misconception is that only try hards sign up for honours. People in honours are just very broadly interested and motivated to look outside their own disciplines. That's something you can learn a lot from.'
'I only have one message to freshmen: apply! Honours is perfect if you want to develop yourself more broadly. And if you ever run into something: you can always talk to coordinators, study advisors, and lecturers. They are ready to help you!'
