Educational approach
To help students to fulfil their potential and become the leaders, thinkers, academics, artists of tomorrow, we have developed our own educational approach. Key elements of this approach are:
- We offer a broad academic development from a strong liberal arts and sciences curriculum with great attention paid to inquiry-based learning within interdisciplinary modules and projects. We thereby aim to offer students training and experience in analysing complex academic problems and real-life situations.
- We encourage students to develop their ‘moral compass’, thereby aiming to help students in their moral citizenship, in both local and international contexts. We offer courses in philosophy and ethics, as well as yearly service-learning projects;
- We provide students with a modern curriculum, focussing on essay writing, debating, coding and programming, research skills, (digital) design and art, and conceptual thought. Today’s curricula however, always runs the risk of becoming outdated for tomorrow’s challenges and problems. For that reason, we insist on helping students to develop metacognitive skills, enabling them to understand and manage their own learning and development in the years to come.
