Course Objective
The Study & Career course intends to activate our students to thinking more professionally and in an engaged manner about their study, internships and future careers as biomedical scientists.
Course Content
During year 2, the students will now put what they learned from the workshops and assignments from year 1 into practice by producing their own learning portfolio. Topics covered during year 2 themed workshops include: presentation skills, poster and scientific figure design, networking, job market orientation, job application & CV preparation. For the final portfolio, students need to justify, design, carry out, and reflect on their own self-directed professional development project (PDProject).
NB: This course runs across 2 academic years. All components from year 1 (AM_1258) must be completed & submitted in order to obtain 3 EC study credits during this year.
