The Education Committee (Opleidingcommissie) of the Faculty of Archaeology is looking for four new student members for the academic year 2024-2025. Do you want to help improve the curriculum of our archaeology programmes? Do you always passionately write course reviews at the end of the block? Do you think you have a unique perspective on education? Then this is the position for you!

What does the Education Committee do?

The Education Committee gives (asked and unasked) advice to the Faculty Board on educational matters, and guards the quality of our education. Students in the committee have the opportunity to share the student perspective to contribute towards the quality of your study programme. They deal with complaints and concerns of students, write reports based on the course evaluations, discuss points of improvement, and contribute to the Teaching and Examination Regulations (OER). The committee consists of four academic staff members and four student members, usually two bachelors and two (research) masters.

Why should you run as a candidate?

• Your unique perspective will act as the voice of the students of your programme.
• You will receive professional training in order to prepare you for this task.
• You will help improve your programme for yourself and the students to come.
• You will develop skills, such as argumentation, that are useful in your future career.
• It looks good on your CV!

Are you interested?

Put yourself forward as a candidate by sending an email with your name, study year and type (BA or RMA/MA), and a short motivation that will be posted on the website (max. 200 words) + photo to assessor@arch.leidenuniv.nl!

If you have any further questions about the tasks and responsibilities, please do not hesitate to contact the Education Committee.

You can run as a candidate until Tuesday 24 September 15:00. Student members of the Education Committee are chosen by and for their fellow students, and elections will be held on September 25 and 26.
