Not studyable – Moonlighting doesn’t effect study – Works council not convinced Not studyableIndustrial Design Engineering isn’t ‘studyable’. It isn’t possible to finish the study in five years, declares the TU ombudsman.
He hasn’t been able to find any fourth or fifth year students still on schedule to graduate on time. The problem arises because some subjects are extremely popular or there aren’t enough work spaces or computers available. Students must draw lots in order to study the subject. The faculty recognises the problem and hopes its new curriculum will provide a solution. Also, the number of optional subjects has been extended and students can submit requests for admittance in special cases. Fortunately for the faculty, the ombudsman also discovered that all students are very enthusiastic about their course.
Moonlighting doesn’t effect study
Students with jobs on the side perform as well academically as their less diligent colleagues, according to a survey of 300 students conducted by Utrecht University’s student newspaper. Seventy percent of the students had jobs on the side. On average, they make 634 guilders a month, working 37 hours. But still, last year they managed to obtain 31 studiepunten.
Works council not convinced
The works council isn’t convinced that the reorganisation plans for the TU cluster concerned with TU staff, management and service centres will solve the current problems. However, Dr. Nico de Voogd, president of the executive board, stated that the council’s approval isn’t required, as it’s not an important alteration. The council is baffled by this statement and will continue to discuss the plans with the cluster manager, Gertjan van Helden. On June 27 the council and the board will meet again.
