Our impact for our students

Our aim is to prepare our students properly for the healthcare and society of the future. We call this The New Utrecht School. The New Utrecht School stands for: interprofessional learning and multidisciplinary education in a diverse and inclusive environment.

Our students

Multidisciplinary and interprofessional learning

Changes in healthcare, such as the increasing complexity of healthcare needs, and demands for interprofessional cooperation. In our education, we also ensure that students from different disciplines meet each other and (learn to) work together.

Diversity and inclusion

We want to offer a diverse and inclusive learning environment. In 2021 we developed a number of specific activities for this purpose: student welfare, summer bridging program and outreach activities.

Quality of education

By converting the basic bursary for students, an extra approximately EUR 1.2 million has been made available for the UMC Utrecht Medical faculty from 2020 until May 2024 to continue improving the quality of education.
