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 (BMS) in Leiden is used as an example. The week includes lectures and workshops on the content and the structure of this master and its various specialisations, as well as lectures on other master programs offered by the LUMC. It also contains workshops on writing your CV and a cover letter and an interview with a junior scientist (BMS alumnus). You will obtain a lot of information to help you prepare for a follow-up of your bachelor, presented by relative beginners or experienced professionals in various directions of the life sciences.
