Description of the assignment
Did you know that diseases can manifest differently in women than in men, that female patients are more likely to have a negative reaction to medication, that most of our knowledge about medication is gained with men and psychosomatic reactions, health behaviour and coping styles differ between women and men?
A multidisciplinary group of UT researchers work together to enlarge the knowledge on women’s health and wellbeing and find ways how different technologies can support women in maintaining and regaining of their somatic and mental health.

Next to the research projects, we develop the Interdisciplinary UT Minor ‘Technology for Women’s health in a life span perspective’. We agreed on the structure and learning components. The next step is to work out the different learning components, formulate learning goals and fitting assessment methods for each learning component.
You can work out specific parts and learn a lot about developing educational products in an innovative and professional way. We will also work together with the educational experts next to the content related experts.
The Minor will be in English. Therefore Dutch language proficiency is not needed
