Personal Development: Honours education & Career service

Honours College

Are you a first year’s bachelor student, and are you looking for extra opportunities besides your regular bachelor’s studies? The Honours College offers small-scale teaching to motivated students, with ample attention for personal development. There is a wide variety of options to choose from. You might start your own research project, do an internship or work on solutions for societal issues such as migration, climate change or the boundaries of health care.

You will receive more information about the options during the Academic Support sessions and there will be information sessions about the different Honours Programmes in December. You can choose the Honours track of your own faculty of Social Sciences (the track Science and Society) but are also allowed to choose an Honours track of another faculty at Leiden University. There are two possible starting dates for the Honours College track: in the second semester of your first academic year or at the start of your second academic year.
