Web information

Personal page

All UAntwerp employees have their own page on the external website. These pages provide information about the professional activities of all our staff members. Any employee's personal page can be found using the staff search box on the Contactpage.

Most of the information featured on these pages is filled in automatically from PeopleSoft and other databases. The structure of these pages is uniform across all staff pages, so you cannot change the layout and fill in these pages according to your own wishes.

How can you change certain information on your personal page (or have it changed)?

Job title

The job title on the personal page is generated directly from the personnel database PeopleSoft. If adjustments are necessary, they must first be adjusted at the source.

Choose your own external job title on the website

Since June 2022, it’s possible to choose an external job title on uantwerp.be. 

This title flows through to your personal page on the website and allows you to choose a more appealing and communicative job title, which more closely matches your specific job description. You can find this title at the top of your personal page, to the right of your name. 

The external job title is displayed only on the website. Your internal job title remains unchanged and will still be used for internal purposes (e.g. on career documents and in statistics) and will remain listed on the website under the heading 'Statute & functions'.

Procedure:

  • You can change your external job title in the PeopleSoft Self-service for Employees, using the ‘Website flow’ tile. 
  • Then click on the ‘Job title’ tab. 
  • There you can choose whether you want to show your internal job title or an external job title of your own choosing. 
  • By default, the internal job title flows through.
  • The day after, your chosen job title will be visible on the website.

Some guidelines:​​

  • The description of the external job title should match all responsibilities associated with that title.
  • The external job title must be in line with what is considered a common and current description for that position.
  • Deliberately misleading others, or misusing this option, does not fit within the values ​​of the university and the behavioral competences of employees.
  • Choose this title in consultation with your manager or supervisor.
  • Maximum number of characters: 120
  • Use correct spelling, according to the writing guide on Pintra.
  • Your manager or supervisor will monitor the correct use of this functionality.

​Currently, this functionality is only available for ATP and BAP staff (or combination of ATP or BAP staff)

  • The ratio of the portrait is 4:5 and it measures 448 x 560 px (portrait format).

Publications / Education / Research / Services

For academic staff, the Education, Research and Publications tabs will appear if there is data available in SisA, in the research database, and in the academic bibliography. 

​Who can I contact to have information edited?​

The tab 'Services' temporarily does not appear on the personal pages because the information cannot yet be filtered. Once this filtering is possible again, the tab will reappear.

Additional page (former My website)

In the autumn of 2025 we will switch to a new content management system for the UAntwerpen website, personal pages will then also become accessible via this new CMS. As part of this switchover and in anticipation of the new CMS, no new my/my website pages will be prepared, nor will editing rights be granted to staff members who have not requested writing rights on their respective my/my website since 2020. The Department Marketing & Communication will use this period to evaluate, investigate and organise the My/mijn website ‘as is’.
