It looks at the increasingly important topic of excellence in education, and the shift in focus towards the provision of programs to support talented students in higher education. It provides a systematic overview of programs for talented students at northern European higher education institutions (HEIs). Starting in the Netherlands, where nearly all HEIs have developed honors programs over the past two decades, the book explores three clusters of countries: the Benelux, the Nordic and the German-speaking countries. For each of these countries, it discusses the local culture towards excellence, the structure of the education system, and the presence of honors programs. In total, the book reviews the special talent provisions for nearly four million students at 303 higher education institutions in eleven countries. In addition, it offers an analysis of the reasons to develop such programs, a look into the future of honors education and a practical list of suggestions for further research.The Sirius Program assigned Marca Wolfensberger to carry out this research. 000725662 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed February 17, 2015). 000725662 650_0 $$aUniversities and colleges$$xHonors courses$$zEurope. 000725662 650_0 $$aEducation, Higher$$zEurope. 000725662 852__ $$bebk 000725662 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-319-12919-8$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000725662 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:725662$$pGLOBAL_SET 000725662 980__ $$aEBOOK 000725662 980__ $$aBIB 000725662 982__ $$aEbook 000725662 983__ $$aOnline 000725662 994__ $$a92$$bISE
