    Election Programme 2019 - 2020 Studenten Organisatie Groningen Making it better. Together INDEX What is our role as the University Council? 4 Education 4 Active Student 6 Internationalisation 7 Sustainability 9 Facilities 10 Student Health and Wellbeing 11 2 Dear student, As students of the University of Groningen (UG), we are assured that, with the education we receive, we have the opportunities to become the world-wise individuals we want to be. We consider our university the institution that delivers critical thinkers into the roaring world around us. This can only be achieved by reassuring and improving the quality of our research and education as the basis where we consider students as the building blocks of the university. The Student Organisation Groningen (SOG) has continuously stood at the heart of the student community for over 45 years and will continue to make an effort by working for the meaningful representation of students. In the past couple of years, the SOG has fought for the improvement of the lives of all UG students by providing students with the opportunity to take free Dutch language courses, do tuition-free board years, and initiating a trial for third-try examination. These are only a few examples of previous achievements of the SOG, and it shows how committed the previous factions have been. But this work needs to be continued. There is always room for improvement and solutions in an environment where new challenges will always arise. In the upcoming year, we want to continue in the line of our predecessors and strive for the three main pillars the SOG stands for; we are there for the active student, the international student, and a sustainable university.

    A study of international students' life situation - a case study of the international students in University of Twente Author: Sheng-He Chen (S0205443) University: University of Twente, the Netherlands Faculty: Master of Business Administration Supervisors: Prof. Dr. Celeste C.P.M. Wilderom Frank J.F. Evers MSc Dr. Piet P.A.M. Kommers Benjamin Ziepert Enschede, August 27, 2009 Acknowledgements I would like to thank my supervisors, Prof. Wilderom and Prof. Kommers, Frank and Ben for lots of great ideas and comments. I also want to thank some of my friends who are there when they are in need: Ming Jiang and Steven Chang. I have been through a hard time to finish the master program under the cross- cultural adaptation myself, however, I was lucky that I could talk to them and ask for suggestions when I was down and lost. Besides, my best friend Tsai-Shen Chen in Taiwan also gave lots of support and suggestions for the thesis writing. It has always been my dream to go study abroad for a foreign degree and the day finally arrived. I am glad that I made a good choice to come to the Netherlands. I just started to appreciate and look the positive side of the culture. And I also have met so many good friends for the past year. I was never close to my college friends when I was in Taiwan. The Dutch year enriches my life. It has been a stunning trip in my life journey. Finally, I want to thank my family in Taiwan. They always ask me to take care of myself and just do my best.

Of course, if you are new to the Netherlands and/or to Tilburg University, there is a lot to get used to.

Maybe you also have other aspirations, next to your program. If so, you can always consider attending one of our excellence programs, becoming active in an association, or going on exchange. Tilburg University offers several interesting opportunities! Make sure you read this handbook carefully, and that you follow the instruc- tions, when necessary. We wish you an inspiring, educational, and, above all, pleasant period of study on our beautiful campus!

  • National Reforms in Higher Education
    Published on Eurydice (https://eacea.ec.europa.eu/national-policies/eurydice) 2021 Financial compensation for students to be extended News item | 21-01-2021 | 17:05 The temporary scheme compensating students in secondary vocational and higher education (MBO, HBO and WO) who are disadvantaged by the coronavirus measures will be extended until the end of August 2021. Students whose studies are delayed due to the measures and who graduate between February 2021 and the end of August 2021 will receive a one-off contribution towards their study costs. All students whose entitlement to a basic grant and/or a supplementary grant ends between October 2020 and the end of August 2021 will also receive a financial contribution. In addition, the enrolment deadline for secondary vocational education (MBO) courses has been extended by one month to 1 May 2021. The extension package is expected to cost a total of €135 million and comes out of the €200 million already reserved for compensation to students. Contribution towards study costs Secondary vocational schools, institutions of higher professional education (HBO institutions) and universities are making every effort to enable all final-year students to get their qualifications as planned, despite the coronavirus measures. Unfortunately, this will not be possible for everyone due to the limitations of online learning and the cancellation of many work placements. Accordingly, the temporary scheme for financial compensation to students in secondary vocational and higher education which was due to end on 31 January will now be extended until 31 August 2021. Students who get their qualification before 31 August will receive a one-off contribution towards their study costs.
