Major and minor research projects
The department of Immunology offers practical training for students in the form of:
- Major research projects: 34 weeks + 4 weeks report
- Minor research projects: 22 weeks + 4 weeks report
Both kinds of research projects are open for all students, whether or not enrolled in the specialized master's programme I & I.
For master students I & I there's an extra rule:
The two research projects have to be complementary, so one in immunology and the other one in microbiology / infectious diseases. The choice of the projects has to be approved by the programme committee. After having worked on a major research project, the second project (minor) might be spend at a foreign university either in- or outside the Netherlands.
Students work on a research project under the supervision of a staff member, post doc or PhD student. They take part in all scientific meetings of their department. At the end the theoretical background is tested in an oral examination.
