Content

Level:
Introduction
 
Content:
The course uses three topics to provide an inclusive view on which professional skills are needed in IPA 3 and as part of the students’ professional identity.

BCE 3 
Apart from grammar and vocabulary related to topics to support the IPA project, BCE3 focuses on the requirements for a successful application process. During a job interview, you may have to convince others of your suitability for the job. Therefore, we will also practice using persuasive language, both in writing and speaking. 

CMS 3
In three training sessions, attention is paid to topics that are important for collaboration during the project. This concerns the following subjects: 
core qualities  
Belbin's team roles 
dealing with conflicts 
At the end of the block, you will be assessed through an individual poster presentation. During this presentation, you look back on the collaboration during the game and how the aforementioned skills were dealt with. 

PD 2
In this hands-on course, students will be challenged to research topics related to personal and professional development. Students take an active role by presenting activities in a fun and interactive way and come up with some form of group-activity, game, or otherwise, to discuss the topics at hand. Apart from classes, students have individual chats with their PD coaches.
