Workshops

Student welfare offers different workshops to maximize your study career at RUAS. The workshops are developed to improve your well-being and/or your study skills. For example, we offer workshops on: Motivation, procrastination, Time management, Exam stress, Mindfulness, self-image and more. They are for free and mostly take place at the location Posthumalaan and sometimes online via Teams. Want to know more or sign up?

New this term: Student4Student workshops! For short: S4S As the name suggests, these are workshops made and given by students. They have had guidance from the student welfare team while making the workshop.

For now, we are working together with the RBS Honours Program students. In the future we would like to give all students the opportunity to develop and gave a workshop. All workshops must fit one of these criteria: welfare, study skills, sense of belonging. Do you have a great idea for a workshop? Make sure to contact me @l.schonherr@hr.nl
