How?

You can apply for a Master Honours Class during the registration periods mentioned above by submitting the following documents:

  • Transcript of grades from your bachelor's programme.*

* You are allowed to add a list of grades of your Master's programma, although this is not mandatory.

Important note: Should you be admitted to the Master Honours Class, the Honours Academy will finalise your enrollment. Therefore, you do not need to register in uSis yourself.

Application

You can apply online via the Honours Academy registration system. This is only possible during the registration periods as indicated above.

Admission

Master Honours Classes are highly sought after. Therefore, in order to preserve their small-scale nature, the number of places available is limited.

Please note that the lecturers select participants on the basis of their motivation letter. Participants are not selected on the basis of the submission date of their application.
