When someone has shown to have talent, all they have to prove now is that they can use it. Jules Renard

Studying should be a challenge for you. You like to use your potential and you think its only natural to set high standards. When you get a 7 out of 10, you think: I can do better! and you shrug off comments of anyone who calls you an overachiever.
The talent routes of the Hanze Honours College offer you this challenge in your studies. At the core there are inspiring and complex assignments, often commissioned by companies. These are supported by lectures and fascinating study assignments around themes of the future, such as Energy and Healthy Ageing. Assignments that will encourage you to look for out of the box solutions. You will have to think and act creatively and innovatively. In other words, use your talent.
Our talent routes create a setting in which your victor mentality, leadership ambition and your strife for perfection are understood and appreciated; your lecturers highly value a critical attitude and discussions during lectures. Interaction based on equality and trust can provide surprising solutions.
Does this kind of studying appeal to you? Then I wouldnt hesitate for a second. Go for gold and choose one of the over 50 talent routes of the Hanze Honours College.
In this brochure you will find an overview of all talent routes. A wide range, from the honours talent programme of Applied Psychology to the talent oriented honours specialisation Airline Pilot and Management. You will learn more about the Hanze Honours College andbe inspired by the stories of talented and excellent students that went before you.
I would be honoured if you were to choose the Hanze Honours College.

Among honours students you will find the leaders of the future, the people that will gain high positions.Marca Wolfensberger, MScProfessor Talent Development in Higher Education and Society
Ne-HoThe Network-Honours (Ne-Ho) is the network organisa-tion of and for honours students. Ne-Ho, too, has a place in the Honours College. It is the initiative of four enthusi-astic International Business School students. With its own website, interesting initiatives and activities, Ne-Ho makes sure honours students are more visible and known to com-panies and institutions, nationally and internationally. This is important, since these organisations are looking for top students for their projects, work placements and jobs.On www.ne-ho.com honours students create their own profile, supported by their most recent resume.
Something for you?If you have been admitted to one of the talent routes of your degree programme, you can call yourself an honours student. You are and will continue to be a student of the school where you are taking your bachelor programme and where you receive your diploma. When you follow a talent route you are also part of the Hanze Honours College. The Honours College offers you the possibility of meeting and working with honours students from other schools at certain lectures and multidisciplinary projects. The Hanze Honours College has its own and visible location on the Hanze Campus and on the Hanze website. Beside this location, our Walk of Fame on the Hanze Campus also allows us to show that we are proud of students and, of course, staff members who have capitalised on their talent by winning a prize.
Visible and recognisable
Opens doorsAs an honours student you will get the extras that you are loo-king for. You will meet other talented Hanze students and you will work with lecturers and researchers, both from your own programme and from other Hanze programmes and schools. And you are among the first in line for challenging and pres-tigious assignments or work placements. Your honours status is by far the fastest road to be admitted to the Talent Group of Groningen, City of Talent, www.cityoftalent.nl/en.
Contact with industryThe Hanze Honours College is your ideal entry to interesting companies, organisations and institutions of repute. The pro-ject office of the Hanze Honours College receives complex and fascinating practical assignments to be carried out by honours students. For instance, students of Information and Commu-nication Technology, Communication and Sport Studies jointly developed an app for Sven Kramer and Ireen Wst (internationally renowned ice skaters). Students of
Business Management Studies and Finance and Control carried out challenging projects at the Martini Hospital in Groningen.
Applied Research into talent development and excellence
What stimulates students to achieve excellence? What kind of study environment is needed? What does the labour market mean by professional excel-lence?
How can society and education strengthen each other in the stimulation of talent?
Research questions to which lecturer-researchers of the profes-sorship Talent Development in Higher Education and Society try to find answers. The research results immediately lead to improvements or adjustments in education and to applications in industry. With this professorship, Hanze has gained a reputation, not only in the Netherlands, but also in Europe.

You can choose from over 50 different talent routes. There is a vision behind this varied selection. Talented students have different needs in order to develop and be challenged: some want to be able to do more beside their studies, others want to broaden or deepen their knowledge of other fields within their bachelor programme.
The talent routes of the Hanze Honours College
Selection based on clear criteriaFor admission to a talent route you go through a selection procedure. The selection criteria differ per programme. Selection is not only based on IQ and high grades, but also on EQ, entrepreneurship, creativity, persistence and the ability to see and seize chances. Of course your study results weigh heavily. The selection usually consists of a motivation letter and an interview; for some talent routes assessment is part of the selection.
Five kinds of talent routesThe Hanze Honours College offers five kinds of talent routes. Also refer to www.hanze.nl/honourscollege.
Honours talent programme Communication Systems Seize the opportunity, like Niek Jonker (1998, honours student Communication Systems), who developed and published the game Hard to Catch. Run through the full development process of mobile games.

Honours talent programme Sport StudiesConsider the Olympic Games in the Netherlands in 2028. Dis-cover new perspectives, develop innovative ideas on sports and make cross overs to health, well-being and lifestyle.
Herinneringscentrum Kamp Westerbork (memorial centre camp Westerbork)Honours students are working on a unique multiyear project, Paviljoen woning kampcommandant (pavilion house camp commandant), with several sub-projects. The foundation wants to secure the camp commandants house at Kamp Westerbork in a lasting manner by placing it within a glass cover (pavilion). This way, a unique national monument and distinguishing mark of Dutch history will be maintained for future generations.
Sub-projects of this innovative project are: Designing and executing plans for an energy-neutral condition, in which the vulnerable wooden monument is well protected.
A plan for public presentations outside the pavilion. A permanent historical overview of the occupation of the house (1939-2007) portraying this remarkable war heritage well.

Honours talent programme prince Claus ConservatoireTogether with two fellow students, Eric Luth (1990), Honours student Music in Education, is developing a programme of music lessons for a secondary school for the deaf. They do have a temporary music teacher, but there is a great need for music les-sons. While at the school, the students discover the possibilities for this special target group.
The project Ongehoord Goed was a great experience, in which deaf and hearing impaired pupils attended a special performance of Le Sacre du Printemps by Stravinsky.
eric Luth (1990) Honours student Music in Education
Within the honours talent programme I have been able to combine my dream of participating in an Atlantic sailing race to the Caribbean with my studies. Due to the various (sometimes extreme) circumstances, I have learned a lot in the area of perseverance, team work and leadership.

4. Honours specialisation
In September 2012 there are 13 honours specialisations
Honours specialisation Critical Care Martina Westerman (1989) had already worked for a year with her vocational nursing degree, and discovered that she had a lot of affinity with situations that demanded acute actions. This honours specialisation has provided her with a solid theoretical foundation in critical care situations.
Nathalie de Groot (1990) applied for Critical Care because she was looking for a greater challenge. She has discovered that her motivation, effort and persistence are shown most clearly in emergency care.
Kirsten van Beek (1991) became an honours student because she wants to get the most out of her studies. Working in critical care is all or nothing, which makes it a constant challenge. She has decided to specialise in critical care.
This specialisation has changed me as a nurse. I have learned things that have changed and improved my way of looking at and thinking about patients forever; I have become a better nurse.

5. Individual honours routes
In September 2012 there are 20 individual honours routes
Faraz Atefeh, (1988) Honours student Facility ManagementAs a result of my active role as class president and my parti-cipation in student panels, I was asked whether I wanted to work as an honours student-assistant. I accepted the chal-lenge, and in my programme Facility Management I have managed to broaden and deepen my studies. I got the chance to further develop my own initiative: to make a new promotional video for Facility Management. It is very educational to think up and work out ideas behind the scenes. As a student-assistant I also supervise other students and I help with the relationship management and marketing of the Institute for Facility Management. That is how I get in touch with interesting companies.
I get a lot of space for my own ideas, and being a student-assistant helps develop my network.

Leonardo Kappel, (1986) Honours student Architecture As a child I was already fascinated by what a building can do to people, and how people experience a building. I wanted to know more about that, so I chose the programme Architecture and Construction Engineering, specialising in Architecture. And of course I want to continue with the Master in Architecture. My honours work placement at PVANB Architects in Groningen is a chance for me to realise my a mbitions. During my work placement I am designing an office building that has to fit into the rural surroundings of sheds and farms. The sheds are ugly and the new building has to become a beautiful visual barrier.
Arjan de Jong, (1985)Honours student LawIn the pre-selection for my work placement at the District Attorneys office Groningen, it was useful that I had already distinguished myself as a member of the Programme Commit-tee. I got the opportunity to have a look inside the top of the organisation. The surplus value of being an honours student is the challenge it poses for me: to carry out my work I need a high sense of responsibility and legal foundation.
If you cannot explain your own design/concept in simple terms, you apparently dont understand it yourself; difficult terms are often unnecessary.
I have learned a lot in this honours work placement: by looking through legal glasses at policy measures, communicating with chain partners like the police and victim support, but especially by acting on the nuances in the file, for these make up the difference.

You can do that very well at the Hanze UAS. If you are a qualified elite athlete, we have a sports arrangement for you that is unique in the Netherlands. For all programmes at Hanze we can adjust the pace of studying, the timetables and the exams to your intensive training and competition schedules. There are also possibilities for a grant to enable the combination of studies and sports. To measure strength, analyse movements and game patterns for team sports and to diagnose achievements, you can go to the Sports Field Lab and the excellent sports facilities of the Hanze. The School of Sport Studies has the top trainer/coach training programme (Topcoach5), which makes it a leading institute in applied research.
Combining top sports and studies
Sigrid Kuizenga (1983) Honours student Sport, Health and Management Already in the possession of a bachelors degree in Medicine, she entered the second year of Sport, Health and Management. One of the two projects within her honours talent programme was the course to become a certified tester, offering exertion tests on the bike or treadmill. This sports technical broade-ning and deepening is a useful addition to the management skills of the regular bachelor programme and her cycling career. Sigrid combines her studies with top sports: she is the pilot for her blind teammate (the stoker) on the tandem bicycle. In 2011 they were second in the World Championships on the road, and in 2012 they prepared to participate at the Paralympic games in London 2012. www.hanze.nl/topsport
