Honours at AUAS

Honours programmes are for students ready to take an extra step in their development. Students who apply are enthusiastic, ambitious, diverse changemakers. Some have international ambitions, others want to stand out from the crowd and still others want to take a leap into whole new subject areas.

Whatever your motivation, if you want to push your boundaries and expand your talent - honours is a great way to do it.

Different Honours programmes

Your Honours programme will vary depending on your degree. Not all degree programmes offer an Honours programme. During intake, you can find out from your faculty whether there is an Honours programme and what it involves.

If your programme doesn't offer an Honours programme, inquire about the other options available to students for an extra challenge.

‘More introverted students like me also join in'
Arzu Hale Tekin, fourth-year International Business student  

'I meet students who are just as ambitious and passionate as me. That's a huge benefit of the Honours programme, as far as I'm concerned. When you're working in a project group, everyone is eager to contribute and take responsibility. More introverted students like me also join in, and try to step out of their comfort zones.'

'You also learn to approach people differently' 
Tim Stapersma, fourth-year Human Resource Management (HRM) student 

‘The Honours programme is helping me develop my project management skills. You use those skills more often and it teaches you to approach people in new ways. I eventually want to become an HR business partner, in the aviation industry, for example. The management skills and interacting with different people come in handy there.’  

'The Honours programme is a great way to challenge myself and grow'
Timo Stalenhoef, second-year occupational therapy student 

A huge plus in terms of experience and growth ‘Taking the Honours pathway alongside my regular curriculum has helped me challenge myself, and it's been a huge plus in terms of experience and growth.
