Doel vak
The Study & Career course intends to activate our students to thinking more professionally and in an engaged manner about their study habits, internships and future careers as biomedical scientists.
Inhoud vak
During year 1, we aim to provide some context, preparation & feedback on the professional skills that scientists (in & outside of academia) are often required to use next to lab research; such as communication, peer-review, self-reflection, networking, project planning, and open science practice. We'll discuss these topics critically and practice them using in-class activities and small-scale assignments. Workshop topics include communication & feedback skills, peer-review, open and transparent research practice, self-reflective practice, networking, goal-setting, and project planning. We'll discuss these topics, analyze examples, and practice both with in-class activities and small assignments.
NB: This course runs across 2 academic years. All components must be completed & submitted in order to obtain 3 EC study credits during year 2 (course code = AM_1270).
