Further background info:

The role of the Degree Programme Committee (DPC; or "Opleidingscommissie" in Dutch) is to evaluate the quality of the education in our bachelor and master programme, and make concrete suggestions for improvement to the programme management. As an official participation body, the DPC has the right to give both solicited and unsolicited advice to the Programme Director.

The DPC for the bachelor and master Artificial Intelligence consists of 3 student members and 3 teacher members, and meets ~6 times per academic year. We really value students' perspectives, and we want to hear your critical thoughts; by joining this committee you will get a direct say in improving our master programme. At the start of each new academic year, the student members of the Master DPC are chosen through an election procedure (for a period of 1 year).
