Educating Interdisciplinarians

Description

Interdisciplinary studies are on the rise in the Netherlands. As a result of the establishment of university colleges and broad bachelor programmes across the country, many students today enter master’s programmes and the labour market with a new set of skills: an integrative attitude, the capacity to think critically, a sense of societal responsibility, and personal leadership. The symposium ‘Educating Interdisciplinarians’ zooms in on the content as well as the intended learning outcomes of interdisciplinary bachelor programmes. Speakers working in the context of such programmes reflect on how the programmes may reach their goals. What do broad bachelor programmes look like? What kinds of students do the programmes deliver? How do interdisciplinarians define and address today’s challenges after graduation? What kind of persons have they become?
