About Study Course
Objective
To provide students of different RSU faculties and programmes with knowledge and practical skills in the organisation and implementation of research work, promoting experience and abilities to plan and implement long-term multidisciplinary cooperation between different disciplines.
Work in the course is organised in interdisciplinary teams, which can include students from different fields (faculties and programmes) and levels of study over several years. Students participate in the work of the team for one or more semesters, according to their study and research interests. Students work under the guidance of a leading researcher, participating in various specific studies.
Prerequisites
General knowledge of human physiology and anatomy, human health or the functioning of society.
Students are approved for the course by assessing their motivation letter (assessing research interests in relation to the objective of the VIP course, interest, motivation to work in a team). The motivation letter should be sent to the course leader. Participation in the course may be refused if the student has poor grades and/or attendance in previous semesters.
