The VU Honours Programme will be revised and will go live for the academic year 2027-2028. No specific details are known yet. More information about the updated programme will be announced later this year on the home page.
All information on this website ONLY applies to current Honours students.
Twice a year, you can choose your honours interfaculty courses. Before each semester, the Try Out Class (TOC) lets you explore the available courses at UvA, VU, and some AUC courses through presentations and an information market. Afterwards, you can apply online for your preferred courses.
Try Out Class events
The next Try Out Class will be on 24 November 2026.
During the Try Out Class, we inform all interested Honours students of the UvA and VU about the interdisciplinary honours modules of the UvA and VU in the second semester of 2026-2027.
