In recent years, thanks to the introduction of the first milestone, we have succeeded in increasing the number of students who successfully complete the first year. After about twenty years of declining success rates, we have been able to turn the tide, and we can be proud of that. In the latest institutional review, the international committee was particularly praiseful of our efforts in this area. We will, therefore, maintain the current academic progress policy and continue to help shape Flemish policy on academic progress. In the coming years, we will continue to monitor the situation closely through data monitoring and consultation with the faculties, without losing sight of students with atypical trajectories (working students, top athletes, artists, students affected by illness, etc.).

Together, we make KU Leuven

Thank you very much for the vote of confidence you have placed in me during what has already been an intense campaign. Now we are steaming ahead to the final round of voting! Because if you really want to bring a breath of fresh air to the university, you need to know exactly what is going on, what the needs are and how we can realistically address them. In short, you need to know KU Leuven inside out so that we can move forward together and leave no one behind. That’s why I am keen to continue the dialogue with you, because yes, together, we make KU Leuven.
