14. 15-Oct-15 | 14 Questions you should ask yourself… Am I willing and able to deal with the extra workload of 45 EC extra to 180 EC of your own bachelor? (This is 25%, so about 1 day a week extra on average!) Am I willing to sacrifice other activities for the Honours Programme? Am I interested in learning more about research? Am I willing to take both deepening and broadening courses ? How do I evaluate alternatives, such as a second study program, joining an EBF board, having a job? Why would I select the Honours Program above them?
