  • You will carry out practice-oriented research independently, translating a given problem into a research strategy and conducting the research, thereby contributing to the resolution of a current and/or socially relevant issue within the field of Applied Science.
  • Under supervision, you will design experiments, carry them out independently and systematically, and generate reproducible and reliable results that can be used to answer a practice-oriented research question within the Applied Science domain.
  • You operate within the framework of a management system, ensuring that your own work complies with applicable procedures and contributes to safeguarding quality, safety and compliance with legislation and regulations within an organisation in the Applied Science domain.
  • You gain a thorough understanding of the client’s problems and/or requirements and describe the context, enabling you to contribute to proposing a possible course of action within the field of Applied Science.
  • Upon request, you share your own knowledge and skills with others within the field of Applied Science, enabling them to gain a basic understanding of the use of relevant methods, equipment and tasks.
  • You will work in a structured and systematic manner with others on a project within a limited, open project framework in the field of Applied Science.

Content

To prepare you for professional practice, the course includes a work placement. The aim of this work placement is to familiarise you with the professional working environment. The emphasis of the work placement is on learning to function in the professional field by carrying out a work placement assignment. You will undertake your work placement at a host organisation, such as a company, hospital, university, research institute, etc. You will work under the supervision of a workplace supervisor. The placement is worth 30 EC, during which you will work on an assignment that aligns with the programme profile and the final-year competencies.

For information on graduation, the Brightspace course ‘Stage’ is available. OnStage is used as the administration system.

The placement lasts 20 weeks. You will start by drawing up a plan of action, carry out the work, and conclude the placement with a portfolio and a poster presentation. The portfolio comprises set and optional components, through which you demonstrate your competences. Halfway through the placement period, an interim evaluation will be scheduled with you, your placement supervisor and your contact lecturer.

During the placement period, review sessions are organised to assist you with the placement process, the portfolio and the poster presentation.
