NovUM LAW

As NovUM candidates for the Faculty of Law, we stand for change. We believe that it is the students’ right and duty to improve their faculty and the environment they are working in. This year, we are standing in this election to be your voice, your representation working together for the better Faculty of Law. 

Student well-being stands at the centre of our interest. We believe that you should feel comfortable and safe in the setting you are working in. Faculty should facilitate our time in Maastricht, not make it harder. We want to work on the issues of: 

• Mental health 
• Individualising approach to the students and answering their needs
  • Avoiding classes during the major holidays and providing students with the opportunity to access the knowledge if they miss class.
  • Better educational support in case of illness or unforeseen circumstances.

There is no doubt that education remains one of the most important areas where the Faculty Council has its say. The learning process that we are part of should be constructed to reflect our needs and possibilities. We will be working to:

• Get extended feedback on the exams.
  • Making the assessment a part of the process, not just a control point at the end of the period. 
• Diversify the examination 
• Create more study spaces.

Last but not least is communication. Students are the inherent part of the Faculty and have the right to know what is going on around them. It is crucial for fostering student engagement and social activity. We will work on:

• Establishing more ways of internal communications
• Make communications clearer
• Include extracurricular activities in internal communications

Don't hope for change, vote for it!
