Investment and Completion

The Honors work will be on top of your regular study in the second and third year of the regular Bachelor Program, and requires a time investment of about 10 hours per week (840 hours in total; 30 credits). By the end of the academic year, you will be assessed individually on your personal and professional development, including pointers for aspects you can improve. This is also a moment of reflection on continuing your Honors work or not, in the same track or in another one. After successful assessment you receive 15 credits per Honors year, so at the end you have received 30 credits. Successful completion of both the first and the second year of the Honors Program will be mentioned on your Bachelor Degree diploma at your own department. In addition, you will receive a letter of recommendation together with your Bachelor Degree diploma. If you only complete the first part, you get a certificate and 15 additional credits.
