Admission requirements
Media Technology MSc students
Description
The portfolio is meant to give a good insight in, and overview of, the different works that have been created, as part of the Media Technology MSc studies. This includes all the courses (including electives, projects and the graduation research) for which the student has to realize own output (including written output like essays and papers). In order to realize the portfolio, students have to actively document their work during their study. The portfolio contains documentation and representations of the works and creates a context around these works in order to convey clear impressions. It does not necessarily contain the actual works themselves.
These documentations and representations should be presented in a form that is consistent across the works. Furthermore, the presentation format should have an identifiable structure. Example structures include, but are not limited to, chronological structure or categorizations of works. Students are asked to develop their own original form and structure. It could have the form of a PDF document, website, etc. and include photos, video, sound, etc. Portfolios (also) need to have a digital form that enables offline storage and offline access/presentation.
Course objectives
Learning to compile, structure and document academic output that exists in another form than (only) the written form.
Creating a portfolio of personal works that may contribute to post-graduation job-finding.
Timetable
A portfolio can only be submitted for assessment between September 1st and June 30th. Evaluation is not instant, and may take up to two weeks.
Mode of instruction
Consultation and advice regarding the portfolio can be requested from the Portfolio coordinators and within meetings of the "Graduation Lab" course.
Assessment method
The portfolio will be assessed (pass/fail) by the Portfolio coordinators. Evaluation criteria are:
completeness of the overview: are all projects included?
clarity of structuring and ordering of projects: is the viewer helped by the structuring?

Software
Starting from the 2024/2025 academic year, the Faculty of Science will use the software distribution platform Academic Software. Through this platform, you can access the software needed for specific courses in your studies. For some software, your laptop must meet certain system requirements, which will be specified with the software. It is important to install the software before the start of the course. More information about the laptop requirements can be found on the student website.
