Honours Programme

Are you a motivated bachelor student who is ready for an extra challenge? Do you want to shape your degree to suit your own ambitions and interests? In the VU Honours Programme you follow specially designed extracurricular interdisciplinary courses and meet like-minded peers!

Broaden and deepen your knowledge and skills
As an honours student you follow extra courses on top of your regular studies during your second and third bachelor year. To broaden your knowledge and skills, you choose from over 40 interdisciplinary courses at other faculties within VU, UvA or AUC. But that’s not all: to deepen your knowledge and skills, you can also take extra courses within your own faculty, extend your bachelor thesis and/or conduct research. 

Does this sounds like the perfect challenge for you?
If you’re excited to learn more about the VU Honours Programme, visit our Honours Programme Explained page for more details. 

Want to apply ?

Join one of our Honours Programme information sessions in October or March.
If you’d like to try out an honours course in the second semester of your first Bachelor’s year, make sure to apply for provisional entry in November 2025. We highly recommend this option!

All events are announced on our homepage.
