VESALIUS COLLEGE. 25 Years of Academic Excellence in Teaching and Research: 25 Years of Academic Excellence in Teaching and Research - Couverture souple
Synopsis
This volume is published on the occasion on the 25th anniversary of Vesalius College and provides an overview of 25 years of academic research at the College.
Vesalius College was established in 1987 by the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) and Boston University to provide a new form of university education in Belgium. As an American-style college taught in English, the College takes a humanistic approach to intellectual inquiry, encouraging students to not only learn skills and knowledge important to their chosen careers, but to also think critically and develop themselves personally and as citizens of an increasingly multicultural and globalised world.
The College’s teaching methods are characterised by small, interactive classes and continuous assessment. The small class size allows the professors to assess the students’ progress at regular intervals throughout the course, by means of written assignments, oral presentations, mid-term exams etc, rather than nal examination results alone.
Whilst the main focus of Vesalius College is on teaching, it also has a strong research component with over ninety percent of its faculty members holding a PhD. Professors are engaged in academic research, often in partnership with other universities.
The wide variety of subjects discussed in this publication illustrates the diversity which exists amongst the faculty.

Soft cover. Etat : Very Good. 1st Edition. Vesalius College: 25 Years of Academic Excellence in Teaching and Research, edited by William L. Chew III and Bert Mosselmans. Brussels: VUBPress / Brussels University Press, 2012. First edition. English text. 408 pages. Published to mark the twenty-fifth anniversary of Vesalius College in Brussels, this substantial academic volume brings together essays reflecting the college's international and interdisciplinary tradition in teaching and research. Rather than functioning merely as an institutional history, the book presents a wide-ranging collection of scholarly contributions addressing European politics and integration, international relations, economics, gender and governance, journalism, media, education and contemporary social issues. Contributors and subjects include Alison Woodward on gender and informal governance, Michel Huysseune on Euroscepticism and the Lega Nord, and Leo Van Hove on the economic and social implications of payment systems and the move away from cash. The individual studies make the volume useful not only as a record of Vesalius College's first quarter-century, but also as a snapshot of European and international scholarship in Brussels in the early twenty-first century. An uncommon institutional and academic publication of particular interest to alumni and scholars of Vesalius College, Vrije Universiteit Brussel, European Studies, International Relations, Political Science, Economics and Higher Education.
