Student participation
In Delft
Student Council
The student council of TU Delft represents the interests of students at the Executive Board. The council holds ten seats, which are held by party members of ORAS, Lijst Bèta and Dé Partij.
Faculty Student Council
In the Netherlands, all students have the right to participate in their education. That is why every faculty has a Faculty Student Council (abbreviated FSC): a council for and by students, which actively ensures that the student's voice is heard. Through their right of consent, right of advice and right of initiative, council members can influence faculty policy.
Board of Studies
Every programme has a Board of Studies (OC in Dutch). Both students and lecturers are represented equally (50/50) in the OC. Members are appointed by the dean of each faculty
TU Delft has a Board of Studies Guide, which shows how the Board of Studies can make a valuable contribution to a degree programme's quality of education, as the critical conscience of a programme.
Sounding board
The board of studies safeguards the quality of the programmes and is the sounding board for the study programmes at the faculty and has right of approval on parts of the programmes. The OC advises the dean about the education and examination of a programme.The OC also advises the Programme Coordinator about all other aspects of the education in a certain study programme. It can also react to suggestions of students and lecturer, so make your suggestions for improvent heard at members of the OC at your faculty.
