Are you talented, intellectually interested, and motivated? Then the Master Honours Programme is the right place for you!
The Master Honours programme is an extracurricular broadening programme of 15 EC in which talented, intellectually interested and motivated students are challenged to enrich their knowledge, skills, attitude, cooperation, and experiences outside their own discipline. Each student follows one of the multidisciplinary tracks in which they are encouraged to develop themselves in a setting comprised of passionate teachers and diverse students.

Track-based education
To tailor your Honours experience to your needs and to allow you to focus on specific skills you want to develop, you can select one of our Master Honours tracks, each with their own unique character and trajectory. Please note that you may only participate in one Master Honours programme throughout your Master study/studies at the University of Twente.
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.
