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.
With the magazine ROOTS we want to connect students and companies. We do this by bringing stories of starters on the labor market. They talk about living and working in the region. We also publish advertorials. In this way, companies come into the spotlight of students and students get an idea of the life that awaits them and what opportunities there are in the region.
