The crash course on Educational Governance @ WUR is an interactive session lead by Dick de Ridder, Dean of Education. The course is an opportunity to empower yourself in your role as a member of a participation body and learn more about the unique structure of the WU. Also other staff members and students with an interest in education governance are welcome.

Four items will be addressed: 

• Education organization matrix of Wageningen University; 

• Governance of the degree programmes; 

• Role of Programme Committees: quality assurance and enhancement of education, the Education Modification Cycle; 

• Education policy of Wageningen University.

This is our new, WUR-specific training and essential for new PC members! It’s also highly valuable for current members, as it covers important and new information about the educational governance at our university. The training is led by Blair van Pelt, an experienced lecturer and chair of the WUR Council. 

Topics covered: 

• Participation in decision-making (medezeggenschap) in general 

• Rights, roles, and responsibilities within a Programme Committee (PC) 

• Structure and processes of a PC – specific to WUR 

• The PC’s relationship with chair groups, Programme Director (PD), and Board of Education (BoE) 

• Ideal performance 

• Available support for PCs 

This training is offered alongside the TAQT training on laws and regulations. We highly recommend attending both, as they complement each other and together provide a well-rounded foundation for your work in the PC.

The workshop Legislation and Regulations for members of Programme Committees (PC) is an opportunity to learn more about the formal duties and authorities of a PC (right to advice, right to consent). 

During the workshop the following items will be addressed: 

• WHW
• EER (OER) and Study Handbook
• Relevant cases
