Personalized learning
Personalized learning is a key principle of our education. It doesn’t mean, however, that you have to do it all by yourself: there are well-defined requirements and learning objectives to be achieved. Moreover, we provide clear instructions. But your study pace and your pathway towards reaching your goals are for you to decide. Every class (only 20 students per class) has its own coach, who helps you accomplish your goals.
Personalized learning is structured in the following four activities:
- Learning community: under guidance and supervision of a lecturer you work with other classes on a specific topic relevant in that term. You can be provided with information but it is also possible that you have to prepare beforehand. At one stage during the learning community you will be given work to be completed on campus on the same day and discussed in a workshop or practice afterwards.
- Workshops: sessions with your class in which you further explore a topic relevant in that term. In a workshop we integrate learning and knowledge transfer.
- Practice: a one-hour mini-workshop to train practical skills, e.g. foreign language or presentation skills.
Student accommodation
In the Netherlands it can be difficult to find student accommodation, in particular in bigger cities. In Zwolle the situation is better than in other cities, although not very easy. With or without our help, in the past two years all international students found accommodation.
