Do you have students wondering whether engineering is the right career path for them? Or students that are creative and need some inspiration for where their career path may lie?  If yes, then TEDI-London has the perfect online taster programme for them this November.

Back for a second time this year, our free ‘Thinking Ahead’ programme gives students the opportunity to develop a design with sustainability and user needs in mind, as well as how to pitch their idea – all key skills for future engineers!  It’s also a great chance for students to top-up their personal statements. 

The programme is fully online for students to take part in outside of their regular studies and is structured over two weeks:

When is it? 

Phase 1: Think like an engineer | 26 November – 6 December

We’ll send over our interactive learning content to get students thinking like engineers. They can access and read this at their own pace to fit around their schedules.  

Phase 2: Create like an engineer | 6 December – 13 December

Students will be set our challenge brief and have the week to come up with a design solution. Throughout there will be online sessions with the TEDI-London team and industry professionals to help students with the challenge and learn more about the world of engineering.

Hello everyone,  

The second semester has started and, while the weather in Amsterdam is still quite chilly, sun rays have been hitting the campus, making it come alive once again with students.

In this newsletter, we highlight upcoming application deadlines and events and inform you about a decision recently made by the Dutch government that has an impact on international student recruitment. We also point out some matters that are relevant to prospective students, such as student wellbeing at VU Amsterdam.

Feel free to reach out to your contact person at VU Amsterdam if you have any questions with regards to these subjects. 

Best wishes,

Natascha Zwaan, Sharon Feijen, Sylvia van Glabbeek and Katerina Makri

Universities asked to suspend active international student recruitment

Recently, there has been much discussion in parliament about the recruitment of international students by Dutch (public) institutions, particularly due to the housing situation in the country, i.e. the extreme difficulty in finding accommodation.

The ministry has asked that institutions take their public responsibility. Thus, most (public) institutions will not be participating in (large scale) recruitment events and will all be individually re-evaluating all other upcoming marketing activities, including the use of study choice platforms, agents and online campaigns in January, February and March 2023. Institutions differ in their approach, with some cancelling ads, reducing or stopping investments in study choice platforms and/or reassessing their agent portfolio to further limit their (active) recruitment.

Note that, although VU Amsterdam cannot actively recruit international students at the moment, we still more than welcome students to pursue their degrees at VU Amsterdam.

We hope and expect further information from Dutch government by the end of March that will provide guidance on our international marketing strategies from April onwards. If you have any questions about the situation, please do not hesitate to get in touch with your contact person at VU Amsterdam.

Greetings!

It is most common for seniors to officially decide to take gap time between March-June, and there is still plenty of time to plan a meaningful year. Please get in touch if I can be of help to your students as they navigate these decisions. See some resources below to help!

Warmly, Julia
