At the UT we are working to improve student well-being within our community. Throught the Student well-being improvement programme (SWIP) we want to inspire and support continuous improvements with attention for student well-being within education, communication, support & guidance as well as within student life. Based on a widely supported vision on student well-being.
The programme is supported from 2022-2026 and will work closely together with other initiatives/programmes/platforms like Platform Student Guidance, Student Union, NPO (Nationaal Programma Onderwijs), Integral Safety, Diversity & Inclusion and employee well-being.
Why SWIP?
Recent studies show considerable percentages of students being distressed and suffering from depression, anxiety and loneliness. Covid-19 drew more attention to the fact that student well-being relates to physical health and social circumstances, as well as the student’s appraisal of the educational setting, communications, housing and financial conditions.
Plans and status
SWIP currently works based on the SWIP Plan 2024-2026.
