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.
For B2 en B3 students:
During the course, it is explained what lifelong learning and interweaving science and practice is and how we can give substance to these concepts in psychology. You will work on challenging cases from practice, in collaboration with fellow students (your future colleagues). In addition, you will reflect on your development as an future scientist practitioner. You will receive feedback about this reflection from the lecturer and fellow students.
Furthermore, the Dutch speaking students get to play a serious game that gives them more insight into the daily work affairs of psychologists in various fields in the Netherlands. English-speaking students will have a mandatory interview with an ambassador. Ambassadors are alumni of Radboud University who work in a psychological field and who are willing to discuss the content of working as a psychologist with you, in small groups.
Additional for B3 students:
Dutch speaking student: you will participate in at least one interview with an ambassador (NL or ENG) in semester 2, together with other students.
English speaking students: you will participate in at least two interviews with an ambassador. One interview that every student in B3 conducts. And one interview instead of the serious game that Dutch speaking students do about the Dutch labour market for psychologists.
