Both VU University Amsterdam (VU) and the University of Amsterdam (UvA) offer an Honours programme for talented and motivated bachelor students of the VU and UvA. Students who are selected for the Honours programme at their own department have the opportunity both to invest more time in their own area of study and to broaden their horizon. Honours students take courses within their own department and interdepartmental courses for a total of 30 extra credits. Most courses of the Honours programmes are taught in English. Graduates receive a Bachelor Honours degree.
From 2009-2010 on, Honours students of the VU can choose from several interdepartmental courses of the Honours programme of the UvA, and Honours students of the UvA can choose for interdepartmental courses of the Honours programme of the VU. From 2010, it will be possible for students of Amsterdam University College (AUC) to take an elective in one of the Honours programmes, and Honours students of VU and UvA will have the opportunity to take an elective of the Bachelor Liberal Arts and Sciences of AUC.
All information about the Honours programmes of VU and UvA will be made available on this website.
