Scrapping more than 400 courses limits opportunities for students to tailor their studies to personal interests and career ambitions.
We oppose the expansion to 10 ECTS faculty-wide courses. It limits student choices and affects the specialized nature of the faculty’s courses.
For smaller fields of study, the offer of electives has been almost completely eliminated. Students should have the freedom of choice to shape their studies according to their direction.
We oppose this as reducing English-language offerings hinders accessibility for international students and will lead to a decrease in diversity within the program.
Converting English-language master’s programs to Dutch-language may, in our opinion, reduce international appeal and may be a disguised austerity measure.
The elimination of electives limits students’ ability to tailor their studies to personal interests and career aspirations.
With only one elective and a limited number of elective courses, we feel that students are not given enough space to design their studies as they wish.
The current scheduling of courses makes it difficult for some students to obtain civil effect, which we believe hinders the accessibility and flexibility of the program.
The lack of sufficient practice materials hinders students in preparing for exams and deepening legal knowledge.
