Programme committee & Board of Examiners

Programme committee

The Honours College has a Bachelor's Programme Committee. The task of the programme committee is to issue solicited or unsolicited recommendations or proposals to the Dean concerning any matters regarding the teaching within the Honours programme. Therefore, the programme committee's purpose is to improve the quality of the Honours Programme. This means that anything related to the quality of the Honours Programme may be a topic for discussion in the meetings. During such discussions, the opinions of student members and staff members carry equal weight. Almost every faculty is represented by a staff and student member. For more information about the work and the composition of the committees, contact Suzanne Hack (official secretary) via honours rug.nl.

The Board of Examiners

The main task of the Board of Examiners is to determine whether a student fulfills the conditions laid down in the Education and Assessment Regulations (EAR) regarding the knowledge, understanding and skills required to pass the relevant final examination. For more information about the work and the composition of the board, contact Suzanne Hack (official secretary) via honours.boardofexaminers rug.nl.

Education and Assessment Regulations (EAR)

To meet the educational quality requirements, the Honours College created the 'Education and Assessment Regulations' (EAR), based on the UG model 'Teaching and Examination Regulations' (TER). Honours students can also find a digital version of the EAR in the Student Portal Honours organization.

For more information about the procedure and composition of the Board of Examiners for the Bachelor's Honours Programme, please contact the official secretary, Suzanne Hack via honours.boardofexaminers rug.nl.

Strategic plan

The Honours College is committed to provide a challenging learning environment in which talent is recognized and fostered. As such, it contributes to society: students from across the university are encouraged to tackle complex problems from different disciplinary perspectives. The Honours College is an interdisciplinary and international community in which students deepen and broaden their knowledge and skills.

Diversity, innovative potential, inclusion and involvement are the core values that guide the behaviour and attitude of students, lecturers and employees at the Honours College. Through these values we try to create an environment in which different ideas, backgrounds and skills contribute to the development of talent, creativity and innovation in our learning community.

Our mission and vision result in an ambitious, challenging co-curricular Honours Programme that can be tailored to the students' individual needs and talents. Our strategic goals focus on strengthening the Honours College's role as a testing ground for innovations, further developing the interdisciplinary nature of the programme and the learning community, improving the integration of the theme of 'employability', improving quality assurance systems and working towards a national quality standard for university Honours Programme.
