NewsDe lat gaat omlaag: eerstejaarsstudenten hoeven straks maar 30 van de 60 studiepunten te behalen om door te mogen met hun opleiding. Tenminste, als de plannen van minister Dijkgraaf een meerderheid krijgen.
NewsThe bar is being lowered: first-year students will soon have to obtain only 30 of the 60 credits to be allowed to proceed with their study programme. At least, if Education Minister Robbert Dijkgraaf’s plans gain a majority.
NewsDe universiteitsraad roept op om het bindend studieadvies (bsa) voorlopig te behouden. Dat schrijft de studentengeleding in een brief aan onderwijsminister Dijkgraaf, die plannen heeft om het systeem aan te passen. ‘Het bsa is geen goede oplossing, maar het alternatief moet beter.’
NewsThe university council is calling for the binding study advice (abbreviated BSA in Dutch) to be retained for the time being. The student body writes this in a letter to minister Dijkgraaf of Educational Affairs, who has plans to adjust the system. ‘The BSA is not the right solution, but the alternative must be better.’
NewsVanwege de coronamaatregelen versoepelen de universiteiten het bindend studieadvies. Dat betekent dat eerstejaarsstudenten minder studiepunten hoeven te halen om door te mogen naar het tweede jaar. Het hbo heeft nog geen gezamenlijk besluit genomen.
NewsBecause of the coronavirus measures universities are relaxing the binding recommendation on continuation of studies. That means that first-year students now need to get fewer credits in order to be allowed to proceed with the second year. The higher professional education sector has not yet taken a joint decision.
This seventh edition of the 4TU Career Special is a shared publication by the news editors of Cursor (Eindhoven University of Technology), Delta (Delft University of Technology), Resource (Wageningen University and Research), and U-Today (University of Twente). The magazine came into being in collaboration with industry, and is explicitly aimed towards students who are either in the final phase of their studies, or have just graduated.
