When you are admitted to your Master's programme, the first thing to do is plan your programme together with your programme coordinator. Remember, he or she has to approve every part of your programme in advance. During the Introducing Life Sciences week at the start of your programme, there is also time available to help you plan your Master's in detail.
Planning form
To make the planning process easier, you can download the GSLS planning form. (Open this form in Adobe Reader via your 'Downloads' folder.) This form is an ongoing document to help you plan your programme. It has no official status. You can change the contents of the form at any time, after consulting your programme coordinator.
Holidays
Taking time off to relax and gain new energy is important. Every year contains approximately 10 weeks of free time next to your study programme, which you can spend on holidays et cetera. We strongly advise you to take along this time in your planning to make sure you keep a good balance between studying and personal time. A general advice would be to take off at least two consecutive weeks each year within the total time spent on holidays. Please, take into account the enrolment periods and the public holidays in the . During your project, you can take the public holidays off upon discussion with your supervisor and without it affecting your end date.
