Institute for Biosciences

Education Team Biosciences plays a central and proactive role within the Education Institute Biosciences. As a team we: 

1. join in the discussion on the mission, vision and policy, and the curriculum.
2. innovate and develop biology education across the entire curriculum together with teaching staff, and we support teachers in implementing these plans.
3. coordinate learning trajectories, courses and activities focussed on personal and professional development (PPD) and career orientation.
4. organise or support in activities aimed at getting high school students enthusiastic for biology.

The tasks and activities of the internship coordinators are still evolving. The first task is to evaluate and approve internship proposals for Bachelor's and Master's internships. An important goal is to improve the provision of information for Bachelor's and Master's Internships, for both students and supervisors.

The coordinators aim to create an internship database showing internship vacancies and possible departments a student can contact. Furthermore, they want to ensure students and supervisors can find all important information, procedures and guidelines concerning internships on a single website.

Contact

Please contact the internship coordinators of Bachelor's and Master's (Medical) Biology, Radboud University if you have any questions regarding:

• Your (students) internship proposal
• Requirements of an internship or internship proposal
• Procedures concerning internship proposals, mid-term evaluations, or report submissions
• Suggestions or ideas to improve the provision of information concerning bachelor or master internships

You can contact us by sending an email to: internship.biosciences [at] ru.nl (internship[dot]biosciences[at]ru[dot]nl)

The student advisors are the first point of contact for students. They know what is going on among students, help them to set out their study path and signal when students run into structural problems, for example concerning internship opportunities.

Student advisors

• Sanne Vosters (Bachelor)
• Johanna Tewes (Bachelor's 1 and 2)
• Monica Terhal (Bachelor's 2 and 3+, Medical Master's)
