‘Profileringsruimte’
The third year has “profileringsruimte” (free space for students to establish their profile). According to university policy, you can use semester 5 (totalling 30 EC) for various purposes. You select a module of units of study totalling 30 credits. Your choice may serve e.g.
· |
to prepare for further study in the Master’s programme Communication Studies. |
· |
to prepare for further studies in Industrial Design Engineering. |
· |
to prepare for further studies in Mechatronics or Electrical Engineering. |
· |
for courses (and projects) of the minors Ondernemerschap or Management to prepare for a role on the labour market. |
But a stay of one semester at another (foreign) university is also an option. And finally, if you just want to broaden your knowledge in related topics which are not in the curriculum (e.g. computer music, image or language processing), you can use your “profileringsruimte” to do so.
Electives
In the third year each student takes elective courses, with a total study load of 15 EC.
The choice of electives is limited by the constraints that
· |
At least one of the electives should address professional standards and ethical issues; |
· |
At least one of the electives should address the interaction between humans and technology. |
Examples of units of study in these fields offered by the university are:
Mens-Product relaties, Interface en interactieontwerp, Psychologische functieleer, Cognitieve Ergonomie, Toegepaste Cognitieve Psychologie, Design en Emotie, Human Error, Nieuwe Media en Maatschappij, Living in a Digital World, Techniekfilosofie, Ethiek: de beroepsverantwoordelijkheid van de ingenieur, Ethics and Technology, Computer Ethics.
The third elective (maximum 5 EC study load) can be used to assist a fellow student in his graduation project.
