FOR AMBITIOUS AND MOTIVATED STUDENTS

The Master Honours programme is worth 15 EC, meaning that the average workload is about 10-14 hours per week. This is a significant increase in workload on top of a regular Master's programme students have to take into account. However, experience shows that students who meet the admission requirements of the track and have sufficient motivation should be able to successfully finish both their regular studies and their Honours programme without any study delays. Students who successfully complete the Master Honours programme receive a certificate and an Honours Pin. 

INSPIRING AND INTENSE SESSIONS

Unlike regular lectures, Honours sessions take place in small groups of diverse students guided by the best teachers and researchers the University of Twente has to offer. These sessions are always dedicated to the specific Honours track. Aside from the inspiring and intense lectures within the track, students are encouraged to take an active role in the Honours Community, so students can meet and learn from others and expand their network. 

Discontinuation of 4TU.Responsible Sustainability Challenge

The track 4TU.Responsible Sustainability Challenge has unfortunatly been discontinued, however the University of Twente has a lot of other opportunities revolving around the subject of sustainability and climate change feel free to have a look at the UT Climate Center!
