About Us

You might already know us as the Honours Student Council (HSC), but from September 2021 onwards our name changes to the AHSC: the Amsterdam Honours Student Council. The HSC was set up in September 2013 by a few Honours students from VU, the UvA, and Extensus. 

We are the informal representative body for students from VU and the UvA who participate in the Honours Programme. Our main goal is to evaluate and guarantee the quality of education within the Honours Programme. We achieve that by conducting an annual survey and reporting on our findings to the relevant parties, along with recruiting Faculty Honours Student Representatives who promote the Honours Programme and establish a relationship of trust with Honours students from their faculty.
