Is an Honours Class for me?

• You are curious about the topic of your Honours Class.
• You enjoy working with students from other programmes.
• You are motivated to contribute to the lessons and assignments.
• You are enrolled at Leiden University, Delft University of Technology or Erasmus University Rotterdam for the entire duration of the course. If you are graduating during the course, you are not allowed to apply for a Bachelor Honours Class.  

Application deadlines

The application periods for Bachelor Honours Classes in the academic year 2025-2026 are as follows:

How can I apply?

Students are allowed to attend a maximum of 2 Bachelor Honours Classes per academic year (both in the same semester or one class per semester).  To increase your chances of being selected for your preferred class(es), we advise you to apply for a maximum of 4 Bachelor Honours Classes.

You can apply online via the Honours Academy application system. This is only possible during the application periods as indicated above. Consult the manual for the application system if you get stuck during the process. 

For your application you are required to submit the following documents:

• A concise motivation letter for each Bachelor Honours Class you are applying for (max. 1000 characters, including spacing), explaining why you wish to attend this particular class and what you will contribute to the group (e.g. knowledge or experiences from your field of study). Applications without motivation letter will not be taken into consideration.
• An overview of your grade average (available in uSis).

Important note: You do not need to register in uSis. The organisation of the Bachelor Honours Classes will do this for you upon admission.

Admission

Bachelor Honours Classes are quite popular. In order to preserve their small-scale nature, the number of places available per class is limited.

Please note that the participants are selected based on their motivation letter and not the submission date of their application.
