Honours

Are you looking for an extra challenge?

Utrecht University offers several honours programmes for students who are looking for an extra challenge. You follow the honours programme, which goes beyond the standard curriculum, alongside your regular master’s programme. Honours programmes are available at both faculty and interdisciplinary level and allow you to delve deeper into subjects or work on projects that transcend your own discipline.

Faculty honours programmes

Some faculties offer their own honours programmes. These programmes cover the specialist subject matter in greater depth. Information about faculty honours programmes can be found on this page.

Interdisciplinary honours programmes

You can choose from the three university-wide honours programmes below. In these interdisciplinary programmes, you work on a variety of social and academic issues with students from other disciplines. By analysing issues from different angles, you will learn how to navigate through today’s complex societies at a broad, connecting level. After completing these honours programmes, you will be presented with an honours certificate during a festive ceremony.
