"I chose to follow the honours track, because I wanted to do and learn more than was provided in the regular courses. Next to that, my regular studies went well and I was looking for a challenge."

"The idea of the social internship is to involve the public in archaeology. For my social internship I am helping with the Non-Professional Archaeological Photographs (NPAPH) project . It involves studying non-professional photographs of objects or archaeological sites made during the ‘60s and ‘70s in the Near East. Determining the location at which a photograph is taken is challenging, as it may depend on a blurry building somewhere in the distance. After having been described,  the photographs will be made accessible to the public through an online database."

"I would love to do research and dream of doing a PhD. I am especially interested in the prehistory of North-Western Europe, so I would like to work in that field. I think the honours track can help realising a job in research, as you gain experience in different fields through the internships. You also meet with people that have a lot of experience in those fields. In short, I’m thoroughly enjoying the honours programme."
