You follow an honours track alongside your regular programme, and you won't receive credits, but stars for your work. Once you've earned five stars, you can request a final assessment to show that you are a 'leading professional in value creation for professional practice and society'. A positive result on your final assessment leads to your receiving an Honours certificate with your diploma.
