We deliver a better UG: our election programme 2018-2019
For the last 13 years, Lijst Calimero has had a clear vision: students come to the UG for challenging, interesting and thought-provoking education. That is the type of education we want for all UG students, because that is what they all deserve. In this election programme, you can see how we hope to improve the quality of education next study year. Our vision is based on three themes: we want to improve what you study, how you study and where you study.
In the first chapter, you will read on how we want to improve what you study. We believe that our university is an academic institution where ideas are taught, examined and challenged. In an ever-changing world, our university has to adapt to change as well. We believe that the future is interdisciplinary, and that students have to develop skills that are necessary for their future career. We believe in a healthy relationship between fundamental and applied sciences, where the university is a centre of research and exploration.
In the second chapter, you can find what we want to improve with regard to how you study. We believe in small-scale education, where interaction and discussion are the key to understanding a subject. We believe that study programmes shouldn’t exist as bundles of isolated courses, but as combinations of coherent fields of studies. We believe that digitalization and internationalization can increase the quality and diversity of education, if applied sensibly. We believe that knowledge should be tested in different ways than just prepping for one big exam.
In the final chapter, we explain how we want to improve where you study. We believe in a healthy study environment, where the mental well-being of students and teachers is paramount. We believe that our university has a duty of care towards our international students that goes beyond education. We believe that study associations are a vital part of student life and that the university should support these associations, while, at the same time, respecting their independence.
The upcoming elections will determine how students are represented in the next academic year. For the past 13 years, Lijst Calimero has been a constructive and critical partner in the University Council. We have delivered on countless topics, from housing to small-scale education. That is what makes Lijst Calimero the best option for you: We deliver a better UG.
