Continuing quality through change
The creativity, flexibility and commitment of our lecturers, staff, and students made all of this possible.Marcel Vreeswijk, Vice-Dean of the Faculty of Science
In 2024-2025 the faculty faced several challenges. We see a decline in enrolment, particularly in our undergraduate programmes, which leads to a reduction in the education budget. However, with currently 31 programmes and over 7,000 students, we remain committed to offering the full range of exact sciences, including our three newest programmes: the Bachelor's in Science, Technology and Innovation, and the Master's in Quantum Computer Science and Complex Systems and Policy.
At the same time, we continued to deliver high-quality education across all our programmes, preparing for the coming years. New education rooms, so-called future-learning-spaces have been commissioned; pilots with gen-AI in the education programme have commenced under the guidance of the Teaching and Learning Centre, and many newcomers completed their UTQ/BKO.
The creativity, flexibility and commitment of our lecturers, staff, and students made all of this possible. We will continue to do the work with the people we have and I hope that our curiosity and drive for science will continue to inspire the next generation.
