Objectives

We can motivate why we included this course unit in the study program.
Lifelong learning is an essential part of professional practice. The health professional practice is based on a thoughtful, purposeful and systematic action, in which the speech therapist / audiologist pays attention to new scientific insights and trends in the field and which he actively searches for national and international knowledge and experiences that he also integrates in professional practice.
This course aims to encourage an inquisitive and dynamic attitude and to stimulate the student to explore different scientific sources for Dutch and foreign literature.
Considering it is a skill which several other courses appeal, such as bachelor dissertation and internship, we included this course in the study program.
