Quality of Education
As our faculty aims to make changes in education over the next few years, Letteren Vooruit will fight for the high academic standards of education and research to be upheld. We aim to involve students more in the decision-making process, and encourage the Faculty Board to effectively communicate with the faculty community.
Quality Education For All
Communication & Transparency
Decision-making at the Faculty of Arts takes place on various levels and can often seem non-transparent for those not familiar with the system. Letteren Vooruit aims to make the organisational structure of the Faculty as well as the opportunities for students to participate and make their voices heard more clear to students, so that they are aware which body to address with which questions and suggestions.
The Necessity of Transparent Communication
Student Wellbeing & Visibility
Over recent years, Letteren Vooruit has become increasingly dedicated to giving Student Wellbeing the attention it deserves. Especially given the circumstances of this academic year – where huge educational reforms are planned for our faculty, – Letteren Vooruit plans to bring resources for Student Wellbeing to new levels of awareness. Students should be able to obtain the support they may need, without the burden of locating these pathways placed solely on the students.
Our Faculty, Our Voice!
Internationalisation & Inclusivity
As international students become more involved in University politics, Letteren Vooruit will continue to emphasise the value of bilingualism in the Council and faculty as a whole. When making decisions about the faculty’s future into account, we will stress the importance of taking international students (and staff) into account to the board.
Diversity As Our Strength
Future of the Arts
Letteren Vooruit aims to continue to promote sustainability within the faculty, while focusing on how AI will be used in the upcoming years.
