At RSM there are two Programme Committees for the Master programmes – the MSc Programme Committee which consists of student and faculty representatives of all 60-credit MSc programmes, and the IM/CEMS programme committee for the 90-credit, 18-month MSc International Management/CEMS programme. 


What is a Programme Committee (PC) and what are its tasks? 

The goal of the MSc and IM/CEMS Programme Committees is to safeguard and stimulate the quality of education, and to represent the community of students and instructors in the Master programmes involved. To this end, the PC discusses all issues related to education, and gives advice to the Dean on assuring and enhancing the quality of the programmes. Topics include, e.g., curriculum design, learning objectives, assessments, study load, the quality of teaching and examinations, and the thesis trajectory. The MSc Programme Committee operates in alignment with the Dutch Higher Education and Research Act (Artikel 9.18 Wet op het hoger onderwijs en wetenschappelijk onderzoek) and the RSM School Regulations, Articles 11 and 12. Together with the Faculty Council, the committee gives input to and approves the annual assessment of the Examination Regulations of RSM’s one-year master programmes. 


Who is my representative in the Programme Committee? 
You can find lists of student and faculty representatives of all 60-credit MSc programmes on the website of the MSc Programme Committee, and student and faculty members of the 90-credit, 18-month MSc International Management/CEMS on the website of the IM/CEMS programme committee.


How can I run for a seat on the Programme Committee? 

Every year the Programme Committee is formed before its first meeting around 25 September. If you wish to become a member of your Programme Committee please contact the secretary of the relevant PC below as soon as possible and/or contact your Academic Director during the programme kick-off.
