Description
SUMMARY Honours programmes are a recent and fast growing development in Dutch universities. The first such programmes started in 1993. Ten years later 25 programmes have been launched at ten universities. Significant are the diversity in the type of programmes, their length, and their positioning in the curriculum. In this study we describe the types of programmes, the certificates involved, the procedures for selection of the students, and the factors that influence their functioning as experiments for educational innovations. We also present a typology of honours programmes in The Netherlands and describe their spin-off effects in the regular programmes. At least 16 of the 25 programmes did indeed have the function of a living laboratory for educational innovations in the regular programmes. We indicate key issues in understanding spin-off effects. Our main question whether honours programmes have innovative capacities for the normal curriculum is answered positively. After proven success, many innovations of the honours programmes are indeed implemented in the regular curriculum.
