The Programme Committee Media and Communication is a participatory body of students and staff representatives which is exclusively focused on all matters related to education. The Programme Committee’s main task is advancing and warranting the quality of the programmes in M&C.
Either on its own initiative or on request, the Programme Committee advices the Education Programme Director or the Vice Dean of Education on matters related to education in the programme. Yearly, it assesses the Teaching and Examination Regulations and how these regulations are applied. The Programme Committee also discusses reports on external audits to the Programme.
In practice, this means that the Education Programme Director or the Vice Dean of Education present their plans to the Programme Committees for advice and input. The Committees can also take the initiative of advancing ideas for enhancing the quality of education.
We meet approximately 10 times a year to discuss plans we receive from the Education Programme Director and the Vice Dean of Education, as well as proposals and concerns from students and colleagues; and our own initiatives. Student members organize feedback sessions (and/or surveys) to collect and understand the views of students from the study programmes/specializations they represent. Based on this, we produce advice and consent letters to management, as well as a report about students’ experiences and views about their programmes.
All students in the different programmes receive an invitation to apply for membership in September of each academic year. For staff members there is an election every two years.
The Programme Committee Media and Communication has 5 staff representatives and 5 student representatives. In IBCoM, we have 1 year-representative for year 1 and 1 for BA2/3. The Research Master usually has one representative in the Programme Committee, and the other Media Studies Masters and Premasters have a total of two representatives.
For general questions concerning the Programme Committee, please write to pcmc@eshcc.eur.nl. With specific issues you can also contact an individual student or staff member.
