The Suitability Committee is appointed by the University Board and comprises an academic head of department or faculty for teacher education or for the study programmes in health and social care, or an equivalent post; an academic head of studies for teacher education or for the study programmes in health and social care, or an equivalent post; two representatives from the field of supervised professional training; two lecturers; two student representatives; and one external representative with a law degree.
In cases where there are concerns about a student's suitability, such concerns should be reported in writing to the suitability assessment coordinator. The suitability assessment coordinator will then initiate an assessment interview with the student and discuss potential measures and plans. The Suitability Committe will only be involved should the extended support and guidance not result in the required changes and development in the student.
The committee submits a recommendation to the University Board or the Appeals Committee with an assessment of whether the student is suitable or not.
