Learning Agreement for Studies at Other Dutch Universities, the Royal Academy of Art the Hague, and Summer Schools (Domestic) Learning Agreement for Studies at other Dutch Universities, The Royal Academy of Art The Hague, and Summer Schools (Domestic). The purpose of the Learning Agreement is to provide a transparent and efficient preparation of the study at other Dutch universities1 and Summer Schools abroad or in the Netherlands, and to ensure that the student will receive recognition in his/her degree for the educational components successfully completed at the host institution. Note: if you are taking courses at Leiden University (electives or minors), you must fill in the form for External Courses and submit your request at the Board of Examiners of Leiden University College. More information can be found here. The Exchange Office only handles courses taken at other Dutch Universities, Summer Schools (domestic and abroad), and Study Abroad Exchanges. This documents contains three parts: SECTION A Part IA and to be completed BEFORE commencement of the proposed programme, contains the information about the student and the proposed study plan, including the title of the course and credits. Please do not convert the grades and credits of the host institution in this form in case the host institution uses another system than the European Credit Transfer System for credits and letter grades for their grading system. Conversion will be made by the Exchange Officer (on behalf of the Board of Examiners) and processed by LUC’s Registrar. This part needs to be signed by the student, the student’s tutor and the Exchange Officer. Part IB and also to be completed BEFORE commencement of the proposed programme contains the LUC’s Rules and Regulations on a stay at the host institution, conversion tables regarding credits and grades, and needs to be signed by the student. By signing this Agreement you agree with the conversion tables as set by LUC. SECTION B Part II is used during the studies at the host institution and only if there is a change of the proposed study plan, e.g. a course is not offered or the Department has changed the course load (credits). The student needs to inform the Exchange Officer as soon as possible about this change, but no later than 2 weeks after the change has occurred. The forms needs to be co-signed by the Registrar at the host institution and the Exchange Officer. SECTION C Students need to inform the Exchange Officer about their return at LUC and make sure that official transcripts are sent by the host institution to Leiden University College. 1 Other Dutch universities recognized by this Learning Agreement are: Erasmus Universiteit Rotterdam, Maastricht University, Radboud University (Nijmegen), Rijksuniversiteit Groningen, Technische Universiteit Delft, Technische Universiteit Eindhoven, Tilburg University, Universiteit Utrecht, Universiteit van Amsterdam, University of Twente, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, and Wageningen University. 1 Section A to be completed BEFORE commencement at host institution Part I PROPOSED STUDY PLAN The Student Last name(s) First name(s) Date of birth Nationality Address (NL) Academic year of study at host institution Phone no.

REGISTRATION AT LEIDEN UNIVERSITY To study as an visiting student at the host institution, students must be (re-)enrolled as a degree-seeking student at Leiden University. Make sure you have completed your re-registration at Leiden University before your commencement to the host institution in case your courses start in the following academic year. In many cases, your re-enrolment at LUC for the next academic year must be completed before you can register as a visiting student at any other Dutch university. Students attending Summer Schools will normally not need to re-enrol for this purpose, since Summer Schools fall within the same academic year. However, re-enrolment will be necessary if you are planning to continue your studies at LUC in the following September. 3 Part IB: Rules and Regulation for external courses at host institutions 1. Students are responsible to make sure that the Study Plan at the host institution do not exceed 30 of external courses, as discussed and approved by the Exchange Officer. 2. Courses taken at an host institution will count towards the Elective space of a maximum of 30 external ects. A maximum of 15 ects worth of 100-level courses is allowed. Taking an official minor as offered by the host university will exempt you from this rule. 3. Any changes in the study plan without the approval of the LUC Exchange Officer (on behalf of the Board of Examiners) will not be counted towards the degree programme of the student at LUC. 4. Courses taken at the host institution cannot be counted towards for your major, Global Challenges courses, or Global Citizenship (apart from language courses worth 10 EC). 5. Grade Points (if applicable) from the host institution will not be converted. 6. Courses at graduate level will not evaluated differently in terms of grade and credit conversion. 7. Grading on curve will not be taken into account regarding (the final) grade and credit conversion. 8. All results (grades and credits) of courses listed in this Agreement will be, after the conversion, transferred regardless whether the courses were successfully completed. Students are not allowed to select which courses will count towards their curriculum. CONVERSION TABLE OF GRADES AND COURSE LEVELS All Dutch Universities use the ects credit system as LUC. So 1 credit earned at any Dutch university equals 1 credit at LUC. Most Dutch universities (apart from the Dutch University Colleges) use the 1-10 grading scale, which translate to the following LUC Grade: Dutch Uni’s LUC Grade Dutch Uni’s LUC Grade 8.6 – 10.0 A+ 6.4 – 6.6 C+ 8.0 – 8.5 A 6.0 – 6.3 C 7.7 – 7.9 A- 5.5 – 5.9 C- 7.4 – 7.6 B+ 5.3 – 5.4 D+ 7.0 – 7.3 B 5.1 – 5.2 D 6.7 – 6.9 B- 4.9 – 5.0 D- 0.0 – 4.8 F Course Levels Conversion Many of the Dutch universities do not use similar course level indications (i.e. level 100, 200, 300, etc.). Therefore, no course levels will be issued with the transfer of the courses taken the following universities: University of Amsterdam, Erasmus University Rotterdam, TU Delft, Wageningen University, Tilburg University, Maastricht University, TU Eindhoven, Rijksuniversiteit Groningen, Universiteit Utrecht, and the University of Twente. However, students are not allowed to take more than 15 ects worth of courses that are part of the first year of a degree programme. This rule does not apply in case students have applied for an official minor offered by these universities. The Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam does use the same course level system as LUC, and the levels indicated by VU will therefore be used for the transfer of your courses to LUC. By signing Part 1B, the student declares that s/he agrees with the Regulations and Regulations for external courses at host institutions, and the conversion table. Name : Date : Signature : 4 SECTION B to be completed DURING mobility period Only fill in and sign this part if there are CHANGES to the original Learning Agreement In exceptional occasions changes in the course offerings may happen at the host institution for a variety of reasons. In order to maintain the 30 ECTS requirements, students may need to register for different courses. Please submit this form within 2 weeks after you have registered for new courses to the LUC Exchange Officer at [email protected]. Only after a confirmation and signature of the LUC Exchange Officer, the new courses will be accredited (provided that you have successfully completed them) towards your LUC curriculum. CHANGES TO THE PROPOSED MOBILITY PROGRAMME Acceptable reasons for changes: - Courses listed in Part 1A are no longer offered; - Courses listed in Part 1A cannot be completed due to circumstances at the host university; To be completed by the student Component title (as indicated in the course Reason for change Credits catalogue) at the host institution nt* # Level course of Deleted component* Added compone □ □ □ □ □ □ □ □ □ □ Total: * tick if applicable # use the credit system of the host institution! 5 Student’s signature To be filled in by the Registrar of the Host Institution.

  • Language of Hope in Europe
    Journal of Christian Education in Korea Vol. 65(2021. 3. 30) : 29-54 DOI: 10.17968/jcek.2021..65.002 Language of Hope in Europe Monique van Dijk-Groeneboer (Professor, Tilburg University, The Netherlands) Michal Opatrny (Professor, South Bohemian University, Budojevice Czech Republic) Eva Escher (Professor, University of Erfurt, Germany) Abstract In Europe, the diversity in religions, cultures, languages and historical backgrounds is enormous. World War II and the Soviet Regime have played a large part in this and the flow of refugees from other continents in- creases the pluralism. How can religious education add to bridging between differences? The language across European countries is different, literally between countries, but also figuratively speaking and even inside individual countries. These differences occur in cultural sense and across age groups as well. Secondary education has the task to form young people to become firmly rooted people who can hold their own in society. It is essential that they learn to examine their own core values and their roots. Recognising their values should be a main focus of religious education. However, schools are currently accommodating increasing numbers of non-religious pupils. What role do religious values still play in this situation? How do pupils feel about active involvement in religious institutions, and about basing life choices on religious beliefs? Can other, non-religious values be detected which could form the basis for value-oriented personal formation? Research of these subjects has been ongoing in the Netherlands for more than twenty years and is currently being expanded to the Czech Republic 30 Journal of Christian Education in Korea and(former East) Germany.
