Aims
  1. You are able to describe the psychological topics and work fields you are interested in.
  2. You are able to describe your interests, qualities, weaknesses and learning objectives with respect to the work fields of your interest.
  3. You are able to summarise the occupational profiles / tasks that apply in two of your preferred work fields.
  4. You are able to identify a debate or trend that engages the professionals in two work fields of your choice.
  5. You are able to describe to what extent the occupational profile and the debate/ trend influence your expectations of both work fields. 
Content
Maybe so far you have just sort of let the programme all wash over you, without wondering what psychological themes make your heart tick? Without asking yourself in which fields of practice you want to be employed in the future? And without considering whether the work fields of your preference really fit with your personal strengths and competencies?
Graduates often sigh: "I wish I had thought about my future career way earlier". Therefore in Me & My Career (MMC) we challenge you to stop avoiding these career questions and to start taking them seriously. You will do so, by working on four compulsory assignments during your B2 and B3 year:
  • Your personal profile 'My Interests, Qualities and Goals' (appr. 4 hours)
  • Your log book 'My first Work Field Orientation' (appr. 10 hours)
  • Your log book 'My second Work Field Orientation' (appr. 10 hours)
  • Your extended personal profile 'My Interests and Qualities & how to achieve my Goals'  (appr. 4 hours).
Examination
The assignments will be graded by your MMC-counselor. You will find the assessment criteria and deadlines in the Brightspace course Me & My Career.
Please note: you will not be able to complete your bachelor programme without completing the four MMC-assignments.
