Additional study guidance at NLBA

NLBA has been offering guidance to students through consultation meetings for years. In groups of 3-4, students work on their assignments and papers and provide each other with feedback. Are there questions they can't figure out? Then NLBA tutors are present to advise. Besides these consultation meetings, NLBA offers the possibility of additional (individual) tutoring during the programme from this summer onwards.

Consultation meetings
During the consultation meetings, students spar about the course material, the research design, and provide each other with feedback on the papers. When a student is at a loss, a content supervisor from NLBA (current: Jan van Zwieten or Bert Leppers) is there to help the student and consultation group. The Education Office is also regularly present (or otherwise available by phone and e-mail) for practical questions and concerns. Naturally, specific questions can also be put to the lecturers on these days.

Additional substantive guidance
During the Corona period, it became clear that many students really enjoy individual guidance. We listened carefully to the student’s wishes and chose to offer this as a fixed part of the programme. ‘NLBA supplementary guidance’ is offered in the form of a strippenkaart, so that it is clear how much extra guidance the student is still entitled to. Every student receives 2 strips for additional guidance from NLBA. In addition, a student can purchase additional additional guidance in the form of a strippenkaart or as a separate individual contact moment. These strips can be used throughout the programme, even if a student would like additional guidance during the graduation phase in addition to the regular guidance.

With this service, we hope to provide students with extra guidance at times when it is needed. For questions about the strippenkaart and the rates for additional strips, please contact the Education Office.
