Honours

University College Utrecht is an honours college with a selective programme. UCU offers curriculum enrichment options and the possibility to earn a UU honours certificate rather than a separate honours programme. The fact that we are an honours college is printed on each University College Utrecht transcript. 

Curriculum Enrichment options  

Enrichment activities typically add breadth and depth to the curriculum; they contribute to the student’s personal growth and may have an international character. The opportunity to explore different activities and further curriculum enrichment options are built into the setup of our educational model. The curriculum enrichment options are a varied collection of possibilities for expanding one’s own curriculum beyond graduation requirements. Some of these options are courses at University College Utrecht, some at Utrecht University, and some have another format.
