Aim of the Honours College

The Honours College will give talented, motivated students the chance to be challenged even more by following Honours programmes and taking part in numerous other activities. The main aim of the Honours programmes at the University of Groningen is to develop talent and initiative.

The College will teach students:

• to master their discipline and exercise it at a higher level
• to develop a wide view and look beyond the boundaries of their discipline
• to play a prominent role within and outside their own discipline and make a significant contribution to society.
