Are you an outstanding student? do you want to be challenged?
The Honours programmes of the University of Twente (UT) offer outstanding and motivated vwo, Bachelor, and Master students an opportunity to challenge themselves both academically and socially. All these programmes have a distinctive profile: High Tech Human Touch. This means that unique combinations of technology, engineering, and social sciences are embraced to respond effectively to challenges and questions posed by society.

UT offers talented Dutch vwo students an Honours programme of 1,5 years. In the first year, the students follow three modules of academic training (philosophy of science, scientific methods, and academic writing) and two masterclasses of their choosing. In the last half year, students are guided in conducting their Honours Research. More information can be found on the website of Pre-U (Dutch).
