The honors work consists of two years of 15 credits each. After the first year you are assessed on the progress you have made so far, and on the quality of your work and output. This is also a second moment of (self) selection. You can decide not to go on with the second year of the honors program or to do this second year in a different Track. Your assessors, too, may decide that you cannot enter the second year.
The second year of the honors work is also concluded with an end-of-year assessment, which will address your development and the quality of the work you have delivered.
If you have successfully completed two honors years and the final bachelor’s exam within 48 months of the start of the degree program you will have ”honors” mentioned on your Bachelor Degree diploma of your own program. If you have not completed the final bachelor’s exam within the required deadline, the results of the two honors year will be mentioned on your diploma supplement.
Statement
You will receive a Statement letter when you start your second honors year (if you have successfully completed the first year's honors assessment). This Statement letter can be used when you apply for a scholarship or for a position at a prestigious Master program in the Netherlands or abroad.
Nevertheless you still need to finish the entire program (by doing the second year honors assessment) and fulfill all other requirements to get honors mentioned on your diploma.
