"This is one of the best possibilities to deepen the contents of the regular study programme, as well as gaining special insights into the business world, students would not be able to take otherwise. The Honours Programme consists of a lot of different activities: stu- dents visit many interesting companies, do a lot of creative activities, and get trainings on soft skills as well. This was one of the best decisions I could make." Stefanie Simon Student of International Business and Management Studies Honours Programmes are open to all Saxion students. Explore the opportunities for yourself and find out which Honours Programme suits you best. If you have any questions, feel free to ask the contact person for the Honours Programme you’re interested in, or a current Honours student. Are you inquisitive, eager to learn, ana- lytical, creative and ambitious? If so, we have an interesting challenge for you! Saxion’s Honours Programmes offer you the chance to develop into an ex- ceptional student and a high-potential starter on the job market. Each Honours Programme runs alongside your regular study programme. Topics Saxion offers Honours Program- mes covering a range of different topics, such as entrepreneurialism, personal leadership, globalisation, project management and social awareness. Each programme also helps you to develop competences including personal reflection, research skills, critical analysis and ‘out- of-the box’ thinking. Whichever route you choose, you can be sure it will broaden your horizons and deepen your understanding. You will work closely with students from other programmes as well as with professio- nals from industry, and be expected to tackle real-life cases. Head start Successful completion of an Honours Programme contributes to your own personal development, not to men- tion adding value to your CV. As an Honours student, you will re- ceive a ‘Bachelor with Honours’ de- gree and become a ‘Reflective Profes- sional’, which gives you a head start on the job market. High demands An Honours Programme has plenty to offer, but it also makes high demands on you as an undergraduate student in return. The process begins in your second year of study, and lasts three years in total. If you decide to take part, you will evolve into a 'Reflec- tive Professional'; you will learn to think differently, which will help to set you apart in the eyes of prospective employers. And, thanks to the strong foundation of your de- gree programme, you will be able to bridge the gaps between different disciplines – allowing you to boost innovation and really make a difference.
