Further relaxation of corona measures
The government is gradually phasing out the corona measures. Below is an overview of what this means within Aeres:
Home work advice relaxed immediately
The advice 'work at home if possible' has been dropped. Education on location is the starting point. All work that is directly related to this therefore also takes place on location. Where this involvement is less present, the government advises a maximum of 50% of the work to be done on location. This takes place after consultation with their manager.
Aeres is pleased that all colleagues can work together again on location.
Relaxations as of February 18, 2022
As of February 18, 2022, the following relaxations will apply:
- At Aeres University of Applied Sciences, the maximum group size for educational activities is cancelled.
Relaxations as of February 25, 2022
As of February 25, two important relaxations will be implemented:
- The face mask obligation will lapse at all Aeres locations. The advice remains to wear a face mask in situations where keeping a distance of 1.5 meters is not possible, but everyone can weigh this up for themselves;
- The obligation to keep a distance of 1.5 meters will lapse at all Aeres locations.

Binding Study Advice (BSA) postponed again this year
As in the past two years, first-year students in higher vocational education will be given an extra year to obtain their compulsory credits. With this, Aeres University of Applied Sciences follows the decision taken within the Association of Universities of Applied Sciences. "Suspending the binding study advice gives our students extra air. This is necessary because this academic year they have again suffered a great deal of inconvenience from the corona measures," says Maurice Limmen, chairman of the Association of Universities of Applied Sciences. The lockdown since mid-December 2021 and the omikron wave immediately following have ensured that many classes had to be taught online or could not even take place. Therefore, it was recently decided to also give the first year students of this academic year extra time.
