Research Master’s Programme Committee
The Research Master’s Programme Committee (in Dutch: R-MOC) is responsible for the constant process of adjusting and modifying the education programme, for instance, by means of education evaluations, both small-scale and large-scale. The committee deals with various issues related to:
- programme quality control, including the discussion of individual course evaluations
- the yearly approval of the Course & Examination Regulations
- the educational programme
- proposals for reforms
The Committee acts as advisor to the Programme Board. In other to ensure a broad basis for advice, the Committee includes 5 students, in addition to one lecturer for each research masterspecialisation. Students are encouraged to participate as much as possible in the resulting reorganisations of education.
International students
International students who want to have a say in our programme are welcome in the International Student Platform.
Meetings
The Research Master’s Programme Committee meets about four times a year. The sessions are open to the public. Students contribute to the R-MPC's activities through regular written education evaluations and evaluation panels. In addition, students can always approach members of the R-MPC with remarks concerning the programme.
