Honours

In the Humanities Honours Programme, you deepen your knowledge of your own Bachelor's field while broadening your horizon together with students from other Humanities disciplines.

Curriculum

The Humanities Honours Programme starts in the second academic year and consists of a total of 45 credits (EC). These credits are partly on top of your regular programme. As an honours student you graduate with (at least) 195 EC instead of 180 EC. The Humanities Honours Programme is multilingual. For students who do not have a sufficient command of Dutch, an English-language route is possible. 

Criteria for participation

  • Good academic qualifications, such as your study results and commitment 
  • A broad academic interest 
  • Initiative and creativity in deepening and broadening academic insight and skills
  • Willingness to look beyond the boundaries of your field of study
  • Enthusiasm for participating in and developing the HHP community
