This course is an online course which you are required to complete during your stay abroad. You will learn to consider the societal relevance of the humanities in general and your own programme in particular and reflect on cultural differences between the Netherlands and your study abroad country.
In addition, you also look to the future. What will your future contribution to society be? Where does the knowledge you have acquired during your studies come into its own and where do your personal preferences and qualities lie? How can you express your strengths convincingly, for example for future employers? And how can you translate your studies into a nice job?
Please note: the first opportunity to hand in your portfolio is 6 December 2021 if you study abroad during the first semester.

You are required to complete this course parallel to your stay abroad. If you fail to do so, you don't meet the entry requirement for the think tank, which will lead to a study delay of (at least) one semester.
Please contact your study advisor if you haven't passed this course during your semester abroad.
