Amsterdam Group A Response to Tampere Lecture

We here at Amsterdam were extremely pleased to see such an active and in depth lecture upon the modalities of the program. Recently we have been discussing our concerns and confusion regarding the removal from the MAIPR website of the modality structures as delineated geographically per university. Many of us felt that the requests we initially made upon our admissions process for allocations were strongly influenced by the notion of each university specializing in a certain modality. Thereby we were concerned by the modalities removal according to location. However, we found this lecture to be quite reassuring as it reinforced, and explicated upon the meaning and mechanisms of, the central functions of the modalities within the over arching pedagogy of the program. Thank you for this!
