For the final episode of the year, we focus on the heart of our university community: students. We explore how studying in 2030 will differ from studying nowadays. According to Rector Magnificus Tom Veldkamp, future students will be much more in charge of what they learn and how they learn. Students design their own curriculum. Veldkamp explains what practical challenges come with that vision. 

Current Master Student Thomas Goudsblom reflects on these personalized tracks. What effect can this have on students? He suggests a different lay-out of the academic year and is strongly committed to enhancing student wellbeing.

If academic education will drastically change, also the design of the space where we learn will be different. What alternatives are there for iconic university lecture halls?
