“From day one, I felt supported as a lecturer”

Share
11 November 2025
Many new lecturers start out full of enthusiasm, but also with the quiet expectation that they’ll have to figure things out on their own. At Human Movement Sciences, things are different.

From day one, they get guidance, work in buddies and learn together through peer meetings. That approach made the programme the first in the Netherlands to receive the GO credential.

A conversation with Geert Buijtenweg, lecturer and team leader of the education section, and junior lecturers Hedwig Musch and Emilie Maas about earning the Growth in Education (GO) credential: the national quality mark for programmes that offer excellent guidance and development opportunities for new lecturers in higher education.

Read the full interview.
