Goals

The focus of the orientation program is on:

  • Getting acquainted with the main themes of the Honours FSW track: 1. Sustainability and Health 2. Adults and Children in a Polarising World 3. Human Aspects of Digitalisation and Robotisation

Course set‐up

We start with an Introduction Meeting in which we focus on community building: you will meet your fellow students, your coach group, the student ambassadors of the Honours FSW track, and the staff members of the Honours FSW track. During this meeting, you will also plan a coach meeting with your coach group and coach.

In three subsequent Expert Sessions, experts will give insight in societal issues related to the themes mentioned above and you will have a discussion in sub groups on a related topic.

In the workshop Healthy Study-Life Balance you will explore a variety of tools to improve your study-life balance. At the end of this meeting, you will be prepared for next year.
