Honours
Do you want to develop your talents to the fullest? Are you enterprising and curious? Then HU Honours is for you. HU Honours education is for all motivated students who want more and can do more.
Honours programmes
With honours education, you deepen and broaden your knowledge and skills. You can take honours courses, participate in projects, or explore your own ideas. HU offers three forms of honours education: courses, projects, and a personal route, allowing you to determine your own honours path.
Honours courses
You can opt for in-depth courses or assignments linked to your study programme to enhance your professional knowledge and skills. Alternatively, you can choose broadening pathways accessible to all HU students focusing on current social themes and personal development, such as personal leadership, debating, critical thinking, or human rights. These pathways promote skills relevant to various professions.
Honours Projects
In this form of honours education, you engage in projects aimed at addressing social issues, such as research at a professorship, external client projects, challenges, or hackathons. HU collaborates with multiple companies and social institutions to develop creative solutions, allowing you to work both individually and in interdisciplinary teams under the guidance of an honours coach. Recent projects have included working with municipalities and government agencies on topics like dementia-friendly cities and mobility.
Honours Personal Learning Route
If you have a unique idea you wish to develop that impacts professional practice and society, you can choose the personal route. You will lead your project with guidance from an honours tutor from your programme. Visit the Honours website under Inspiration to see examples of what other students have accomplished; possibilities are vast.
