Challenge yourself during your bachelor’s

CHALLENGE YOURSELF

DURING YOUR BACHELOR’S

If you are among the top 10% performers in your programme, you can take part in an Honours track alongside your bachelor’s. This involves taking an extracurricular programme in which you learn to combine technology, engineering and social sciences. It is a great way of learning how to quickly respond to societal challenges.

Hungry for more knowledge? We offer three types of Honours programmes:

BACHELOR’S HONOURS PROGRAMME

The Honours programme compliments and broadens your normal bachelor’s. In about 1.5 years, you will follow one of the multidisciplinary tracks, in which you will work together with students from other programmes. You will also receive intensive guidance from researchers from various academic disciplines. The Bachelor’s Honours programme starts every year in February, and it is open to all bachelor’s students.

A STAR OR PLUS PROGRAMME

Depending on what you are studying, you can take a supplementary Star or Plus programme:

✔ STAR programme – If you’re studying Communication Science, International Business Administration, Industrial Design Engineering, Management, Society & Technology or Psychology, then you can take extra modules, working on a project designed to deepen your knowledge. ✔ PLUS programme – This programme is available to students of the Dutch-taught programme Applied Physics. In the PLUS programme you will dive deeper into a specialised topic.

Needles are often used in surgery, because they cause the patient minimum

pain and tissue damage. By developing smart, flexible and controllable needles,

we’re taking this minimally invasive surgery to the next level, for reasons like the

fact that these needles can access parts of the body that are difficult to reach.
