Prospective students

Are you looking for a bachelorprogramme to participate in next year? And are you choosing the place where to study? Take a look at the extracurricular programma of the University of Groningen; the University of Groningen Honours College. You will follow this programme alongside your regular Bachelor’s degree programme worth 180 ECTS. The programme will start after the first semester of the first year and will comprise units that both deepen and broaden knowledge. The in-depth parts will be related to your own degree programme and will be followed at your own faculty. The broadening parts involve intensive contact with honours students from all the other faculties. This is where you will look beyond the frontiers of your discipline and where personal development plays a central role.

The Honours College is for students who:

• want a challenge
• look across frontiers
• want to get more out of their degree than just a certificate
• want to make a difference

The qualities we expect from Honours College students are:

1. good to very good study results (top 10%)
2. a high IQ linked to social skills (EQ) and a high level of self-motivation
3. an interest in extra intellectual challenges – both deepening and broadening knowledge
4. willingness to develop their talents further by putting in extra effort
5. very motivated.
