How to shape your own Master

During the MSc programme, a Synergy programme is offered. This programme also aims to support you in developing your own, personal vision on your MSc education and with that in giving input for:

• selecting the programme electives,
• filling in the 30 EC elective space,
• find a direction for your graduation project.

In the process of selecting, you can ask yourself several questions. Think of questions like:

• What characterises me as a student of my particular MSc?
• What are my passions?
• What inspires me? Gives me energy?
• What are my current skills? What am I good at? What skills would I like to develop?
• How can I create added value compared to what I have now and compared to others?
• How do I see my future? What are my dreams for my professional career?
• Where does my future lie? To what extent does my future lie abroad? How do I prepare for this international future?
• What graduation project would I like to do?

It is also possible to ask one of the academic counsellors for advice in the process of choosing. They have specific expertise in the area of making personal choices and working on professional development.
