Public transport strike on September 9, 2026: educational activities will continue, keep an eye on Brightspace |
Despite the predicted disruption of the planned public transport strike on 9 September, educational activities will continue as normal. Some lecturers may decide to offer classes in a different format (for example, online). Please keep a close eye on Brightspace (course environment) for updates and your email for messages from your teachers.
If you are absent from a class with a mandatory attendance requirement due to the strike, you may cite the strike as the reason, and the attendance requirement will be waived. Please do inform your teacher. |

These days, with AI tools, you can have a lecture transcribed or its content summarised at the touch of a button. However, it’s also particularly valuable to master this skill yourself. Curious to find out how to take notes that are genuinely useful? Check out these tips on effective note-taking and how you can learn the most from your own notes.

Searching for information about your studies |
| When you search for information about your programme via Google and/or ChatGPT, you often get summaries. These seems useful, but unfortunately, the AI also uses outdated, deleted or incorrect pages from other programmes/faculties to formulate answers. For example, incorrect registration periods for courses. To avoid using incorrect information, always check the links used and only rely on the information provided on the student website. Or check the Education and Examination Regulations (EER/OER) of your programme if you want to be sure. |
