It is part of the Honours Academy at Leiden University, and requires a 2-year commitment to attending lectures/seminars in Leiden every Monday. The programme is split into five terms, each with a different focus. Term I and III offered a wide range of lectures on different scientific areas, e.g. anthropology and astrophysics. I did a Life, Science & Technology module in term II, as well as Biomedical Sciences, during which I was involved in research on the vWB-factor. During Term IV, I worked on a research project that concerned both fytobiology and medicine. We looked at the solvency and absorption power of NADES with regards to different medicinal molecular structures. Blok V was geared towards processing the results of Term IV's research, by writing a newspaper column/article. [Attached in Dutch] Show less
