Iranians
The controversy surrounding a Dutch government policy initiative aimed at preventing Iranian foreign students from enrolling for education programs that involve knowledge related to nuclear weaponry has been resolved. Initially, Twente University said it would no longer admit Iranian students; TU Eindhoven that it would refer Iranian students to the government; and TU Delft that it would only not allow Iranians access to the university’s nuclear reactor. Now however, following discussions between the government and universities, this initial policy has been amended. Iranian students are welcome at TU Twente and TU Eindhoven. However, restrictions will be placed on MSc and PhD places that involve technology that could be used for nuclear wapons production. The Dutch government will also establish a protocol for Iranian students who want to follow such nuclear specialized degree programs and Iranian students who want to study such subjects will be ‘screened’ by the Dutch security service (AIVD).
Study trips
The TU’s student party Oras and the student council will take a study trip to Canada on February 5: the point of the trip is determine which Canadian university’s policy is the best for integrating international students. With more and more international students coming to study at TU Delft, Oras says that the integration between international and Dutch students is “often minimal. When Oras returns from Canada, the student party AAG will travel to Sweden to study the themes of sustainability in education and discrimination.
