What is the Honours College?

The Honours College is a 20 EC honours programme that you can follow alongside your bachelor’s. Honours College offers you additional opportunities to develop your talents and discover your strenghts. This allows you to both enrich your university life and prepare for your future. 

There are two possible starting moments for the Honours College. You can begin in the second semester of your first bachelor’s year, or at the start of your second year. The application periods for both options fall during the first year of your bachelor’s programme. 

The programme consists of 5 and 10 EC courses. You may choose from a varied selection of courses organised by the different faculties. All courses are taken together with students from other bachelor’s programmes, allowing you to truly step outside your own academic bubble.
