Omschrijving	A colloquium is an oral presentation that discusses research developments in a particular area. It should be a captivating academic survey that emphasizes recent discoveries while also touching on the key unresolved research issues. It should place the research whenever possible in a societal context, paying attention to its ethical implications. The colloquium topic is selected in consultation between student and supervisor. The information for the colloquium comes from a literature survey. The key issue is to distill a coherent and intelligible account from an often overwhelming array of findings and theories. The Course committee has decided on the following regulations for the colloquium: - The colloquium has an entry requirement. Before it can be started, at least one research project must have been completed. Be aware of the fact that you need approval for your colloquium via a proposal form, signed by your mentor and approved by the Board of Examiners; - The colloquium is presented in English; - A compulsory element of a colloquium is an abstract of the colloquium as well as a list of relevant literature; - The colloquium presentation should be 30-45 minutes. Thereafter there is sufficient time scheduled for discussion; - The audience should be at least ten persons. The student is responsible for the minimum amount of public. The audience includes two staff members of which at least one of them is appointed as examiner by the Board of Examiners of the master’s degree programme. Both staff members will assess the colloquium and decide upon the final grade. The colloquium topic is set in consultation between student and supervisor. Detailed instructions about the colloquium can be found in the guidelines section of the study guide (student portal).
