Education Frequently asked questions Student life Honours College Prospective Honours College student

I'm wondering whether I should apply for the Honours College or begin a second degree programme. What's my best choice?

That's a difficult question. It depends on where your interests lie specifically, as well as on what you want to achieve and how much you are prepared to do to attain it. Doing a second degree programme in some instances could increase your chances on the job market. You will, however, probably take longer to complete your programmes and will have to organize and plan a lot since the two schedules often do not fit. An Honours Programme is a much broader programme that takes your regular degree programme into consideration. You will be part of a group of like-minded students from both your own degree programme and from other ones. Your personal development will also receive attention.
