About this Course

Whether you will end up working in academia or elsewhere, you will develop many transferable skills over the course of your bachelor education. The goal of this course is to help you identify your strengths and learn to communicate them to the outside world.

Three topics are central to this course:

Career orientation (what can you do with your education);
Professional identity (what do you want to do with your education);
Personal development (getting the most out of your education).

As of academic year 2022–2023, the course also includes academic skills (scientific literature, presenting, writing). This part is still under construction.

Sections marked with an asterisk (*) are optional.
