Content

Level:
Intermediate

Content:
The course uses two topics to provide an inclusive view on which professional skills are needed in IPA 7 and as part of the students’ professional identity.

The goal of Career Development is to help students in recognizing their strong skills and knowledge, that will assist in finding a suitable placement. Students will work on their self-promotion skills. The outcomes will be shown in an application letter, which demonstrates why the student is interested in a specific job offer and what the student can offer to the company. Students will also obtain tips on ways to prepare for a professional interview and will demonstrate their self-presentation skills in a mock job interview setting.

Research Tooling 2 deals with several core topics that determine the quality of (applied) research. It complements block 7 IPA research by discussing research design, research execution and research evaluation. The emphasis lies on the last two, taking a pragmatic approach by discussing qualitative tools (such as interviewing) and analysis methods (such as coding and Atlas.TI).
