Nollkaemper's second term will commence on 1 May 2021 and - like the first term - will last for a period of five years. This reappointment has been made in consultation with the Student Council and the Faculty Works Council. 'We are very happy that André Nollkaemper is prepared to devote a further five years to the faculty. He has succeeded in setting a new course in terms of content by renewing both the faculty's teaching and its research, making it more relevant to society,' says Rector Magnificus Karen Maex. 'After a radical reorganisation, the faculty is now financially healthy again. The student intake and study success rates in the programmes have improved significantly, and the faculty's education has acquired a distinctive look.
