About Extensus
Extensus is the study association for Honours students of all three universities in Amsterdam: VU Amsterdam, the University of Amsterdam (UvA) and Amsterdam University College (AUC). With a vast increase of members each year, Extensus is building a valuable network of Honours students of all disciplines. By organizing social, professional and academic events, Extensus aims to be a valuable extension of the Honours Programme for those students who want to look beyond the boundaries of a lecture room. Becoming a member of Extensus is an excellent way to get the most out of your Honours Programme. You can join our borrels, the study trip, career dinner, masterclasses, social drinks and a lot more!
This is extensus
Extensus is the Study Association of the Honours Programme of VU, UvA and AUC. It came into existence as a student initiative in September 2009. Since then, we have been engaged in various efforts to have participants of the Amsterdam Honours Programme benefit more from being a part of this Amsterdam-wide community of high-achieving students. Initially only open to those honours students studying at VU, Extensus expanded to the UvA and AUC in 2011.

we
& our goals
Adding Value
The aim of Extensus is to enhance the community of the Honours Programme by bringing together Honours students from all faculties and universities in Amsterdam. It does so by organizing professional, academic and social events, that are all aimed at the broad interests of the Honours students. Examples include study trips, career dinners and master classes.
Our Base
The word extensus is derived from the verb extendere, meaning to stretch out, to extend, to increase, to broaden. It is also used poetically: maiores pennas nido extendere, to spread one’s wings beyond the nest (adapted from Horace). The name of the study association symbolizes the two goals of the Honours Programme: to broaden students’ horizons, and to extend their knowledge within their own field. It also alludes to the ambition, innovative spirit, and commitment to excellent education that is demonstrated by students and teachers involved in the Honours Programme.
Our Future
So far, Extensus is thrilled to see the yearly increase in the number of Honours Students and their eagerness to contribute to a platform for excellence. Extensus justly considers itself to be the starting grid for future leaders and is dedicated to paving the way for collaboration between Honours students and their future employers from which both parties undoubtedly benefit. Extensus is always keen to welcome new members and Honours Students who wish to be involved in the organisation. Aspirations for the future are high, since Extensus aims to grow both in number and in substance, making full use of its interuniversity network and international orientation.

Events
Extensus is student-driven and student-focused, which focuses our efforts in various events. It offers events for students with diverse interests, ranging from professional, academic, and social events.
Professional Events
Career Dinner
The Career dinner is our most focused professional event of the year, where corporations of different industries are invited under a common interest: talent. What the corporations scout, our members offer. Under a semi-formal atmosphere, companies reach out to our members.
Since numerous Extensus members stem from business-related disciplines, Extensus hold consultancy drinks to connect students with consultancy organizations, and to immerse them in its atmosphere. Under a semi-formal event, this is where students can expand their social network and experiences with consultancy companies.
Consultancy Drinks
In-house Days
Students often feel an academic bubble within their universities. Extensus holds in-house days for several companies to bring students out of this bubble, and experience a day in the life of professionals that they may one day have as their career.
Academic Events
Lectures
With our broad reach to a variety of different disciplines, we bring in the attention of lecturers that teaches interesting subjects for a living. Where students often stop at their own study, these lectures may provide holistic insight into interdisciplinary approaches to current world problems.
Extensus also values practical skills that will be used in future careers. Masterclasses are the best way to gain these skills in short crash-course timing by our field experts.
Masterclasses
Social Events
Extensus Meets Its Freshmen
During ‘Extensus Meets its Freshmen’, you will get the opportunity to get to know your fellow honours students outside the classroom during a day of different fun activities in Amsterdam. Afterwards, other Extensus members will join us for some drinks, giving you the chance to get to know them as well. If you sign up to become a member of Extensus, you even get a free dinner!
During the year, Extensus will host several get-togethers. We will come together for some drinks or an activity so we, as the board, can get to know our members and our members to get to know each other. Upcoming get-togethers will be anounced on the website, Facebook and in the newsletters so stay tuned!
Get-togethers
Study Trip
The Study Trip is a great opportunity to get to know your fellow Extensus members in a different environment. We will explore a different city every year, visit the local university and have a lot of fun. The weekend is always filled with a good balance of cultural, social and educational activities. Come along with us!
The annual New Year’s Gala is the best way to celebrate the new year with your fellow Extensus members. The Gala Committee is our most festive committee! Every year they think of an amazing theme and make the New Year’s Gala an unforgettable night!
Annual Gala
Members' Weekend
The Member Weekend will be filled with fun activities and is a great way to hang out with your fellow members and for Extensus freshmen to get to know the association. This trip will be closer to home than the Study Trip, but it will be just as gezellig! Join us on the next trip!
The Graduation Event is for all students that finished both their bachelor and Honours Programme. The ceremony will include musical performances and speeches. The evening will be concluded when everyone traditionally throws their graduation cap into the air.
