Join the team of Honours+ supervisors and support a group of talented motivated students from different faculties during their work on the assignments inspired by the Dutch National Research Agenda and the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development!
Honours+ is the Common Core for all faculty honours programmes. In Honours+, 2nd-year bachelor’s students (1st year honours students) are challenged to explore an academic and complex current topic, in groups of 6 to 8 students from different faculties.
Honours+ is now looking for supervisors who are willing to supervise a group of students during the exploration of these topics, following the scientific method. The role of the supervisor would be to steer and guide the group, provide for a safe learning environment and guarantee sufficient challenge and academic depth.
Are you based in Maastricht during November 2019 until May 2020 and are interested in working with a group of motivated and talented students from different faculties? Then we are looking for you! Send an email before 1 October.
The Honours+ supervisors will receive:
- An excellent opportunity to work with a group of motivated and talented students from different faculties;
- A digital course manual for supervisors with information on the exact role of a Supervisor, general information about the challenge, the requirements for the output to be delivered by the students and guidelines for the assessment of the students;
- Free training offered by the Honours+ Central Management Team at EDLAB on the topics of ‘Team Dynamics’ and ‘Managing interdisciplinary research teams’;
- Support offered by the Honours+ Central Management Team at EDLAB for all sorts of practical and organizational questions;
- Compensation of hours.
Currently, we are still looking for the supervisors for the following topics:
- What is the ‘inequality problem’?
- What effect is the rising 24-hour economy having on human health and performance and how can our knowledge of biorhythms enhance the relationship between the individual and society?
- What are the implications and challenges associated with worldwide urbanisation?
- How do we strike the right balance between freedom and responsibility (individual and collective)?

We look forward to welcoming you as a supervisor in Honours+!
