Honours Programme

Challenge yourself!

The Honours Programme Delft (HPD) has been developed for all bachelor and master students who perform above average and are looking to challenge themselves. Each Honours programme consists of an individual extra-curricular project that you design yourself. In those projects, you might, for example, carry out independent research on a topic that you feel has some relevancy for your main study programme. Other examples are taking on a selection of thematically coherent courses, doing an assignment for a company, or organising scientific lectures for fellow students. What shape exactly your Honours project takes is mostly up to you: if you apply for the HPD, you will be asked to lay out a detailed vision for your project, so the possibilities are numerous and primarily depend on your own effort and interests. If you are interested in applying for the HPD, please click on the corresponding box below to find more information on how to do so.

Each student who participates in the Honours Programme Delft is automatically part of the Honours Community – the larger community consisting of all present Honours students at the university. Being part of the Honours Community entails having exclusive access to a variety of (completely free) educational, recreational, and networking events that take place on a regular basis. In the current academic year these events include things like bowling and pub-quizzing, but also instructive talks by experts on topics ranging from cybercrime to North Indian classical music. More information on the Honours Community, and the Honours Board (the HPD student board responsible for organising these events), can be found on the left under the header of the same name.
