Our Agenda

Core of the agenda

• We want to shape the best possible future-proof higher education. Education that anticipates the dynamics of the professional field and acknowledges the diversity of our students.
• Every student reaches for a high level and is developing to become a competent, reflective and enterprising professional. While studying he or she is shaped further both personally and professionally.
• We offer every student a safe learning environment in which they are acknowledged and recognised. Our education is small scale: small groups, short communication lines and personal guidance.
• We offer all students equal opportunities and challenge them to reach for the highest goals. We guide students in their choices. The end qualifications are fixed, but the road leading there may vary in form, content or tempo.
• We organise our education to be rich in context. Students, lecturers, researchers and field professionals work together in a work-study environment.
• Professional autonomy is central in our manner of working. The lecturer teams are responsible for the quality of our education.
• Directors, management, and supporting staff ensure an environment in which lecturer teams may excel.

In order to realise the above mentioned, the coming years we will focus on transforming our education. Focus is on the way in which we educate our students, how we manage, support, and are organised.

Development

The content of Our Agenda has been established based on analysis, talks with students, lecturers, associate professors, management and supporting staff. We also held discussions with colleagues at other schools, and field professionals from Rotterdam. The tasks that are set out in Our Agenda will be further developed in the agenda of realisation.
