Gezondheidswetenschappers bestuderen (volks)gezondheid en gezondheidsproblemen vanuit een interdisciplinair perspectief; ze kunnen vanuit verschillende zienswijzen werken en zo oplossingen vinden voor gezondheidswetenschappelijke vraagstukken. Wat is volksgezondheid en hoe is de Nederlandse gezondheidszorg georganiseerd? Wat is de biomedische achtergrond van gezondheid, gezondheidsrisico’s en –problemen? Hoe kunnen we bijdragen aan een gezonde maatschappij? Hoe effectief zijn interventies die we inzetten om de gezondheid te verbeteren?
Het eerste jaar is gericht op het verkrijgen van basiskennis over de gezondheidswetenschappen aan de hand van actuele gezondheidsproblematiek. Diverse basiscursussen zoals psychologie, immunologie en gezondheidseconomie worden aangeboden. De basisbeginselen van epidemiologie en biostatistiek worden aangeleerd. Daarnaast is er veel aandacht voor sociale en ‘academische binding’: door middel van een tutoraat is er aandacht voor studentbegeleiding, binding met de opleiding en het ontwikkelen van academische en professionele vaardigheden. De tutoren zijn eerste aanspreekpunt voor de studenten en helpen hen wegwijs te worden op de universiteit. In het tweede jaar vindt meer verdieping plaats en kunnen studenten zich al wat meer gaan focussen op één of meer deelgebieden binnen de gezondheidswetenschappen door middel van keuzevakken. Het derde jaar bestaat uit een zelfgekozen minor gevolgd door een onderzoeksstage waarin alle onderzoeksvaardigheden die zijn opgedaan gedurende de opleiding benut worden.
Omschrijving
functie. De student kan zich tijdens het eerste studiejaar oriënteren op
de gekozen opleiding, dat wil zeggen: voldoet de opleiding aan de
verwachting en is men er geschikt voor. In het eerste jaar wordt kennis
bijgebracht aangaande:
Gezondheid en daaraan gerelateerde problematiek (wat is
gezondheidswetenschap?)
De normaal functionerende, gezonde mens. De belangrijke
gezondheidsproblemen en karakterisering van de volksgezondheid op het
gebied van: fysiologie, functionele anatomie, genetica, psychologie,
biologische en psychologische ontwikkelingsprocessen en veroudering.
Historische ontwikkeling, structuur en werking van de gezondheidszorg
De selecterende functie komt vooral tot uiting in de studieresultaten.
Vanaf studiejaar 2011-2012 introduceert de opleiding het Bindend
Studieadvies (BSA). Dit houdt in dat je in het eerste jaar van de
opleiding Gezondheidswetenschappen minimaal tweederde van alle
studiepunten moet halen. Voldoe je aan het eind van het studiejaar niet
aan deze norm, dan moet je stoppen met de opleiding. In het geval van
ziekte of persoonlijke omstandigheden kan worden afgeweken van deze
norm.
In het eerste jaar zijn alle vakken verplicht, er zijn geen keuzevakken.
Het programma in het eerste jaar vormt een basis; het geeft een eerste
overzicht van de Gezondheidswetenschappen en is bedoeld als een
verbreding van de kennis op diverse terreinen (biologie, geneeskunde,
sociologie, psychologie, bewegingswetenschappen).
Omschrijving
binnen de gezondheidswetenschappen. Daarnaast wordt beoogd een
verdieping van kennis, inzicht en vaardigheden op deelgebieden tot stand
te brengen. Dit vormt de basis voor de differentiatie in het derde jaar.
In het tweede jaar zijn alle vakken tot en met week 22 (2014) verplicht.
Daarna, in het blok van week 23-26, kunnen studenten kiezen uit meerdere
cursussen.
Omschrijving
bacheloropleiding. In deze tweede fase is er ruimte voor een verdieping
van kennis, inzicht en vaardigheden op deelgebieden. In het derde jaar
kiezen studenten voor een groot deel hun eigen programma. Daarbij wordt
ook tijd besteed aan oriëntatie op de verschillende richtingen die de
masteropleiding biedt, zodat studenten aan het eind van het derde jaar
een verantwoorde keuze maken uit verschillende differentiaties in de
vervolg masteropleiding. Belangrijk onderdeel van het derde jaar is de
minor en de bachelorstage. Een minor kan verbredend of verdiepend zijn,
maar is altijd een aansluitend geheel van 30 EC. De minor wordt
opgenomen in de profileringruimte, zoals aangegeven op het jaarschema op
de FALW-website. Studenten kunnen ook kiezen om de profileringsruimte
op te vullen met een minor van buiten de eigen faculteit en binnen of
buiten de VU.
Omschrijving
our modern society faces modern problems, such as drug abuse, high
levels of occupational stress or population-wide inactivity. All those
issues have severe consequences for health. Finding solutions to those
problems requires a multidisciplinary approach.
The minor “Five Big Issues in Health” focuses on large scale modern
health issues. The minor consists of five courses, each revolving around
a major health issue, which will be tackled from a scientific
perspective and be discussed form physiological, psychological,
societal, socio-cultural and ethical viewpoints. Special attention will
be given to the practical implications of this knowledge. Through
lectures, excursions, practicals and assignments, you will seek answers
to questions such as:
- What do we need to support workers to reach the increased retirement
age in good health? (Health@Work)
- How can we prevent unplanned pregnancies among young girls, and sexual
transmitted diseases among the elderly? (Sexual Health)
- Can we save the world by eating insects? (Food for Thought)
- Is exercise the medicine to lifestyle diseases? (Moving Matters in
Health)
- Why is it so difficult to treat addiction? (Drugs and Addiction)

Omschrijving
and health sciences and places them in a broader perspective (e.g.
societal, managerial, political and economic). In our current time we
face many challenges in health care due to new and emerging infectious
diseases, changing disease patterns, demographic changes, rising costs
of health care and globalisation. At the same time, new scientific
developments result in innovative products and services, such as novel
pharmaceuticals, neurotechnologies and telemedicine. Ideally, the
scientific developments would be able to address the current challenges
successfully. However, reality sometimes proves otherwise. Technical
innovations are not taken up by patient groups, vaccination programs are
unable to reach proper vaccination levels, societal movements halt
further scientific developments, etc. What are the underlying causes for
these undesirable outcomes and how could we in the future create a
better match between the needs in health care and developments in
biomedical and health sciences? This minor provides you with the first
steps to answer these questions.
Omschrijving
is: How does biomedical knowledge support health care related solutions?
The courses follow the development of medical interventions from basic
science to the integration into routine clinical practice: “from cell to
society”. Some courses focus more on the biomedical mechanisms of
disorders and how human development is regulated and can be disturbed.
Other courses focus more on healthcare aspects (prevention,
diagnostics, care and treatment) and societal impacts. Students will
learn more about the challenges and steps in translation of biomedical
knowledge to public health and clinical practice.
Omschrijving
disciplines within the field of Neuroscience. The student will become
familiar with the workings and functions of different types of brain
cells and brain areas. The student will learn how this knowledge can be
used to understand characteristics of the healthy brain (e.g.,
perception, attention, learning and memory, consciousness, personality),
of the developing brain
(pre- and postnatal), and of the diseased brain (e.g., depression,
addiction, eating disorders).
In addition, the students will be familiarized with recent findings from
the fields of human genetics and will actively participate in
nature-versus-nurture debates. Finally, this minor provides an
introduction into recent technological advances in brain-machine
interfaces, deep brain stimulation, and robotics in the context of
Neuroscience. The integration of disciplines such as biology,
psychology, sociology, and genetics, is central to this minor. Students
learn to think critically about how knowledge of the brain and the human
genome can be applied to tackle societal issues.

principles and recent developments in communication about health and
diseases to different target groups and by different parties (such as
government, press, health-promoting organizations or professionals).
Moreover, the minor deals with behavioral-, language- and
social-scientific aspects as well as legal aspects of communication and
how these can be applied in the area of public health and health care.
Omschrijving
rising costs of healthcare – these are problems that add complexity to
the already considerable health challenges the world is facing today.
Many diseases do not stop at national borders, and most health problems
have social, political and economic impacts. The world is more than ever
in need of a vision of health that spans the globe. At the same time,
innovative answers to these challenges emerge, like novel
pharmaceuticals, neurotechnologies, genomics, mhealth (using mobile
phones), field test kits that replace whole laboratories, as well as
innovative funding schemes and care arrangement (e.g. community-based
health care). But how can we make these answers fit the challenges that
are emerging? History shows numerous, at best, not-so-effective health
interventions and unintended consequences. To effectively address these
complex health challenges, global health researcher need to
cross-disciplinary boundaries and interact with health professionals,
patients and others to gain in-depth understanding of global health
problems, and to set out cohesive and strategic action to solve these
problems.
Omschrijving
School of Business and Economics (SBE) and the Faculty of Earth and Life
Sciences (FALW). It is open to all bachelor students from the VU, from
other Dutch universities and from universities abroad.
This minor discusses health care policy from an economic perspective and
deals with management of health care organizations, using economic,
organization, accounting and finance theories and methods. It offers
students in economics and business sciences the opportunity to use
economic and organizational theories which enables them to gain in-depth
knowledge about the cure and care sector. The minor is also useful for
students from other faculties who have studied health care issues from
another perspective, like medicine, social sciences, life sciences and
behavioral and movement sciences. The minor may be especially helpful
for those students who consider working in policy development or
managerial positions within the health care sector. The minor relates to
two major VU themes: Human & Life Sciences en Professional Services.
The minor focuses on the following themes:
- The economic effects of health, illness, demographic developments and
aging.
- The role of government intervention in the health care market,
positive and negative economic implications of regulation.
- Structure and functioning of care and cure markets, and the way health
care supply meets health care demand.
- The role of health insurance arrangements in influencing health care
supply.
- Policy issues around health care regulation, accessibility of care,
cost control and health care quality.
- Financial management of health care organizations in their pursuit of
health care productivity, cost effectiveness and quality.
- Management of health care organizations, the role of management in
steering and controlling professionals, leadership, and communication.
The minor enables students to analyze the effectiveness of health care
policies, to analyse complex issues related to financing and controlling
health care institutions, and to improve internal management issues
within health care organizations.
The minor contains 5 compulsory courses.

Omschrijving
companies like Nike and ASML are responsive to changes in customer
preferences and are successfully battling their competitors, whereas
companies like General Motors and Philips struggle? Why are companies
like Airbnb and Uber successful in developing and selling product and
service innovations, whereas publishers and record companies lack
innovative capacity? How is it possible that long-existing companies are
surpassed by new venture start-ups with radical different business
approaches, such as Shapeways and Blendle? The answers to these
questions show that high-performing companies excel in using new ways of
management and organization. Specifically, these companies have business
models that work in today’s dynamic environment.
In the Minor in Business Administration you will learn to build, assess,
and change business models and tackle management and organization
issues.
The Minor in Business Administration is a 30 EC programme taught in
English. You will become familiar with the foundations of business
administration: strategy, marketing, finance, accounting, logistics,
technology, and human resource management. Using business model
thinking, you will combine and apply the knowledge from these
disciplines to study businesses. In addition, midway the programme you
are asked to select a specialization theme, which enables you to obtain
a deeper understanding about the relationship between your profession
and a business discipline. In addition to academic skills, the programme
emphasizes professional skills, including creativity, communication,
reflexivity, and consultancy. The Minor Business Administration provides
you with knowledge and skills to successfully act in dynamic
organizations, irrespective of your professional background.

problems, varying from undernourished children to obese adults and
elderly; climate change presents a challenge for future food production;
novel technologies raise ethical questions with respect to animal
welfare, preservation of biodiversity, and protection of national policy
autonomy. These and many other societal issues are part of the content
of this course. These insights will be useful to a variety of academic
and societal fields, and may help you to choose your master’s programme.
This minor takes real world problems as a starting point. Examples,
assignments and (guest)lectures will be based on the variety of actual
challenges related to food security. Throughout the minor, culminating
in an advisory report in the last course, you will conduct an assignment
for a real organization active in the field of food security; e.g. the
Ministry of Economic Affairs; Oxfam Novib; FrieslandCampina.
Jobs are increasingly about combinations of insights and skills rather
than specialized knowledge only. In this minor you will acquire skills
and insights from different scientific backgrounds to be able to conduct
interdisciplinary research. The fact that this minor is offered by the
Amsterdam Centre for World Food Studies, an institute that brings
together researchers from different faculties of the VU to conduct
inter- and transdisciplinary research on food security, guarantees the
richness of skills and methods taught.
Omschrijving
Innovative technologies may completely change how business and design
processes are set up, while new directions for fruitful start-ups are
countless. This calls for new and strategic ways of organising these
opportunities to innovate in the digital world. If you are interested in
new, exciting ways to organise for digital innovation, if you want to
learn how new digital technologies such as big data, 3D printing and
robotization change the way of working in your own field of expertise;
if you are interested in how to design and organise pervasive digital
technologies, if you would like to start your own Spotify, Uber or
Airbnb in your own specific discipline and would like to learn how to do
so; if you are interested in new professional, organisational and
managerial insights related to digital innovation, this minor is for
you.
This minor is a 30 EC programme taught in English. The programme
consists of five courses taught during the first semester of the third
year of your Bachelor program.
Students in the Bachelor programmes (International) Business
Administration are excluded from participating in this university minor.
Omschrijving
Why does the discovery of natural resources make a country sometimes
poorer rather than richer? How can we keep the pension and health care
system sustainable if there are only half as many working age people?
Why do economic crises occur? These questions illustrate how economics
touches upon the most pressing problems of today: economic well-being,
inequality and sustainability. In the minor in Economics you will learn
to tackle economic issues by learning to think like an economist.
The minor in Economics is a 30 EC programme of 5 compulsory courses,
taught in English. You will become familiar with the development of
economic thought, including the principles of micro- and macroeconomic
theory and key insights from empirical economic analysis. You will gain
insight into the role of economic policy, learning to identify when
markets fail and when policy interventions may provide solutions.
Finally, you learn to take a structured approach to solving practical
problems using economic core concepts. Upon completion you will have a
proven ability to apply sound economic reasoning to a range of issues on
a micro- and macroeconomic level, for example related to labor markets,
social insurance, health and welfare policy, environmental and product
market regulation, fiscal and monetary policy, trade and development
policies.
Students in the BSc programmes Economics and Business Economics as well

er artikelen en boeken met baanbrekende inzichten over de werking van
onze hersenen en het effect hiervan op ons gedrag. Deze kennis verandert
de wereld, met steeds sterk wordende effecten op marketing, rechtspraak,
technologie, computers, onze voeding en de economie. Het geeft ons
inzichten in waarin en waarom we van elkaar verschillen, en helpt ons
bepaalde groepsprocessen in de maatschappij te verklaren. Kennis over de
psychologie en ons brein zijn een must voor iedereen die wil begrijpen
waarom we doen wat we doen.
Doel
De minor Psychologie en het brein laat studenten kennismaken met de
vakgebieden die gedrag en brein onderzoeken. Studenten krijgen in de
minor een overzicht van de psychologie en de cognitieve
neurowetenschappen, en worden vervolgens geïntroduceerd in de manier van
onderzoek doen in deze velden. De doelstellingen hierbij zijn bij de
student:
a. de kennis aan te brengen om met verstand te oordelen over claims die
zowel binnen als buiten de wetenschap over psyche en brein worden
gemaakt,
b. de vaardigheden bij te brengen om zelf onderzoek te doen naar psyche
en brein.
Doelgroep:
De minor is aantrekkelijk voor studenten met een algemene interesse in
psychologie en de hersenen, met voorkennis van statistiek (zoals
aangeboden in bachelors in de sociale wetenschappen, economie, exacte en
biomedische wetenschappen).
Ingangseisen:
-Minstens 90 EC behaald binnen één bachelorprogramma.
-Minstens 6 EC behaald aan statistische vakken.
Aantal deelnemers:
Er geldt een maximum van vijftig studenten per jaar, die op basis van
First come First serve worden gekozen.
Omschrijving
about diverse cultures, and internet facilitates world-wide
communication and information exchange. Law traditionally focuses on
nation states, but topics like migration, internet, climate, and
terrorism do not stop at the border. Quite the contrary. The objective
of this minor is to become aware of the fact that many societal issues
ask for a transboundary approach to law.
The minor explores the role of law in defining and resolving social
issues concerning the globalisation of societies. Central topics are
migration (transnational movement), internet (transnational
communications) and climate change (transnational action).
This minor offers students insight in questions, such as:
• Why transnational issues are not suited for unilateral, national
actions;
• What states can do within international law (such as European Union
law);
• The ways in which states are currently responding to these issues;
• The criticism of the current actions and regulations;
• Future perspectives.
After completing this minor, the student has knowledge of the core of
the legislation concerning the three topics, has gained insight in the
most important critique and analysis of this legislation (from a legal,
policy-orientated, sociological, anthropological and/or philosophical
perspective), and is capable of critically judging proposed changes. For
each of the topics the student knows which actors play a role in making
rules and policy, how states work together (or not), the consequences of
this (lack of) cooperation and the future perspective for transnational
regulations in migrations, climate change and internet. Knowledge of
these ‘case studies’ and the theory involved also enables student to
independently reflect on other areas of transnational problems, such as
security.
Omschrijving
as environment and sustainability, poverty and unequal economic growth,
global political economy, diversity and inequality, and urbanization.
Contrary to the previous minor entitled Development Studies, which
focused on issues surrounding poverty and social inequality in less
developed countries, or the Global South, this new minor approaches the
aforementioned issues through an understanding of “development” as a
field that not only pertains to so-called developing countries but also
to our own western, so-called developed, societies. In other words, the
minor Development and Global Challenges addresses a select number of
burning issues far away and in our own backyards.
The minor both addresses the policy level (including the role of states,
transnational corporations, and non-governmental organizations) and
local responses to contemporary global challenges; The minor critically
assesses earlier conceptualizations and approaches (governance) of
development and discusses their successes and failures; The minor
examines local responses to aforementioned issues, the importance of
political empowerment, and the conditions under which these responses
(and strategies) have been/can be successful; The minor addresses global
challenges such as environmental issues, urbanization and
sustainability, and social inequality both in the global south as well
as in the so-called developed world; The minor acknowledges the fact
that global challenges and burning issues are deeply connected at a
global scale, and need to be confronted at different levels (global,
national, local)

inclusief die van de minoren, kan in overleg met de betrokken docent en
je honoursprogramma-tutor een zg. Stervariant worden gedaan. Een
Stervariant is gericht op verdieping en heeft een omvang van 3 EC boven
de normale studielast van de cursus. Binnen de stervariant doe je veelal
een individueel begeleid literatuuronderzoek naar een specifiek
onderwerp uit de cursus. Dit literatuuronderzoek rond je af met een
schriftelijk verslag. Het is belangrijk de betrokken docent /
coördinator van de cursus tijdig te benaderen met de vraag of het
