SPT projects
The SPT designs, develops and contributes to UM projects, always with the student perspective in mind.
Projects run by the SPT:
- Student Panel: feedback sessions organised for UM departments to ensure university services will be student friendly.
- Student Idea Competition: annual competition of student projects aimed at improving UM. Students receive support in developing their project ideas and the three best ideas are rewarded with the finances needed to make them a reality.
Projects supported by the SPT:
- Student Initiative Helpdesk: a central platform providing information needed to start and successfully run student initiatives, projects and associations in Maastricht.
- Applicant Journey: redesigning the application process for prospective UM students.
- Team Student Progression: improving the functions of the Student Portal.
- Student Experience Survey: student surveys aimed at gathering student feedback on various topics.
The Student Panel
During a Student Panel session, students provide feedback on issues important to both students and the university. A panel consists of approximately 15- 20 students and is held around once every month.
The feedback is provided to a UM department or an external organisation (e.g. the municipality). The panel sessions give the concerned UM department (or external organisation) insight about student experience and interests on various topics. The feedback is used by UM departments and external organizations in their projects.
The SPT’s role is organising the sessions, and brining students and the UM department (or external organisation) together.
