Each study programme at the VU has an education committee (OLC). This committee helps decide on the education students receive and advises the programme director. As a student, you can sit on this committee to represent your supporters. This way, you help to ensure high quality education and build your CV!
What do you do on a programme committee?
As a student member in a programme committee, you work together with teacher members on two important tasks:
- Exercising the right of consent and advice on the Education and Examination Regulations (TER);
- Providing (unsolicited) advice to the study programme management on educational matters.
As a programme committee, you also have the so-called 'information right'. This means that the programme management is obliged to share information with the OLC that the OLC needs to perform its duties. The OLC is also entitled to training and official, financial and legal support. For a complete overview of duties, rights and obligations, see the OC-Wijzer of the National Students' Union (LsVb).
