HONOUR
for students who want more...

Hochschule Niederrhein. Your way.

Students who are identified by outstanding academic achievements, special social commitment or above-average motivation are to be sponsored by the HONOUR program.

In the HONOUR program, support is defined as the promotion of interdisciplinary cross-sectional competencies, so-called future skills, i.e. skills that are becoming increasingly important for professional life and social participation, such as judgment, sustainability and reflection competencies, the ability to collaborate and work in a team.

The HONOUR program usually runs for one year and starts annually in November with a kick-off event.

The following program contents are run through:

December: Participation in the team building day for the service learning project (one day).
February/ June: Participation in a seminar as part of the Winter Academy (optional Summer Academy) and participation in a World Café (one day)
March: Work on a concrete service learning project (2 weeks in the lecture-free period) incl. design thinking workshop

Students with outstanding studies will receive an invitation to the program from the faculty.

In addition, all students at HSNR with a high level of social commitment or with a strong motivation to take on social responsibility and participate in the program can apply.

Introduction to and overview

The HONOUR scholarship program is planned and implemented by the HNX team, the contact point for business start-ups and entrepreneurship, and the Student Degree Programme Counselling. The main goal is to support students in their future skills by using activating and target group oriented methods. In this way, knowledge from the studies can be applied in real contexts. Students from different disciplines work together and use their individual and professional perspectives profitably in discussions and project assignments.

Against this background, HONOUR students are introduced to the innovative and target group-oriented method of "Design Thinking" and work actively and largely self-directed on a service learning project. Service Learning is the core of the HONOUR program. It combines social commitment ("service") with the training of professional, methodological and social skills ("learning") beyond the boundaries of the university. Questions from practical application are taken up and scientific findings are directly transferred into practice through cooperation with stakeholders from business and society. Project partners are organizations and institutions that are active in society.
