Admission requirements
Description
The aim of the Choose week is to learn to make a rational choice by means of a conscious strategy. Insight into the process of choosing is necessary for your orientation on a career and for your choice of a master program after you have finished your bachelor. Furthermore, it is required for the choice of research projects, courses and specialisations within such a master program. The program of the master Biomedical Sciences in Leiden is used as an example. The week includes lectures on the content and the structure of this master and its various specialisations, but it also contains workshops, interviews, and the project BW_Alive. You will obtain a lot of information, presented by both experienced scientists and relative beginners in the various fields and the job market.
