MC Design your own Career in Science

Uitgebreide vaknaam	MC Design your own Career in Science
Leerdoelen	The master class consists of one full day of lectures, human interest talks and workshops, focusing on personal leadership qualities within an academic context. The class is taught by prof.dr. Fulvio Reggiori, prof.dr. Marjo Buitelaar, prof.dr. Ritsert Jansen, and drs. Heidi Disler. There will be one additional speaker.
Omschrijving	The students will experience what it is to show leadership, either through examples from others or by means of workshops and assignments. They are invited to construct a one hour workshop based on the course book one/two weeks prior to the course (there is a bonus involved if they take up this challenge successfully) or in the wake of the course. During the course they are challenged to test their own ideas, and further develop their general and personal insights. There will be time for questions and discussions - both with the trainers and the speaker, as well as within the group. After the actual master class students draw up a personal career plan in which they incorporate insights gained during the course, and report back on discussing this plan with an expert as well as a close acquaintance or relative. The course provides opportunities to show initiative, to plan and organize independently; it increases insights in leadership processes and personal strategies. The central questions addressed are: - What is important to me? Where do I position myself in five years’ time? - What qualities and skills do I need to develop in order to achieve my personal/career goals? - What makes an academic career successful, and what does it take to make it happen? - What steps can I take in the near future, and do these steps differ per academic field? This module explains the build-up of careers, primarily within the academic world. We start with exploring personal dreams and ideas, and how they can become the basis for a successful and satisfying career. We will then discuss personal skills and talents that contribute towards leadership qualities, and explore how these qualities have played a role in the career of a successful scientist. This module helps explore the route towards a subsequent PhD trajectory – the highest level of education. Within three weeks after the course students must have handed in five assignments, all of which related to the steps to take after their graduation. Their written work must be based on the course book.
