Why the Honours College?

Are you a student who likes to show initiative and do you want to develop your talents? Then you might be eligible for a position within the Honours College of the University of Groningen.

The Bachelor’s Honours programme is designed for students who want to get more out of themselves and their academic training. It is a complementary programme of 45 ECTS that you can follow next to your regular Bachelor’s degree programme. There is no extra tuition fee. The programme has a duration of two and a half years, in which deepening of your regular programme and broadening of knowledge and understanding with a broader view are central themes. On that account the interdisciplinary approach will be very important, next to intensifying the knowledge of your own degree programme. Together with other students from all faculties, you will look into scientific and social issues from different disciplinary angles.

The English-taught Master’s Honours programme is developed especially for students who want to get more from their studies. It is a programme of 15 ECTS  followed in addition to your regular Master's programme. It is a one-year interdisciplinary programme that is designed to introduce students to various aspects of leadership.
