Science

The Science department offers the following two dedicated programmes:

• Double Degree in Liberal Arts & Sciences and Physics (DDLP)
• (Pre-)Medical Science

The DDLP program allows students to pursue a degree in Liberal Arts & Sciences and Physics in a combined programme of four years. The Pre-Med track is interesting for students who would like to continue with a medical Master's programme, such as SUMMA at Utrecht University. 

 

The Science Department employs three Science Student Assistants (SSAs) who are there to help students with questions regarding their course material, curriculum planning and research projects. Students can also share any remarks about their courses or teachers.

Office: Computer room, Newton H, ground floor, South (side of the building closest to Locke).

In Fall 2021 and Spring 2022, the Science Student Assistants are Klaske Baars and Melle Bolding, Office hours are as follows:

Klaske (Chemistry, Biology, Cog Neuro, Mathematics) -  k.baars1@uu.nl

- Monday 17:30-18:30

- Wednesday 18-20

- Friday 15:45-16:45

Melle (Physics, Mathematics) – m.bolding@uu.nl

- Monday 17:30-19:30

- Wednesday 17:30-18:30

- Thursday 17:30-18:30

Depending on the situation of the pandemic, the office hours may switch between in person or online. Therefore, please keep an eye on the Science Student Assistants Facebook page and Microsoft Teams for announcements.

 

Student representatives assume the role of the “antennas” of their respective track between the students and the department AAO. They are usually students taking courses and majoring in a certain track who will gain as much direct student input on the track and delegate the information to the departmental AAO, fellow or Head of Department. Due to this role of facilitating communications within the track, student representatives are legitimised and entitled to bringing forth ideas, initiatives and concerns about their track to the fellow and head of department. In the past, these included ideas of a thesis symposium event, track promotion events and new course collaborations with the fellows.

The Science department has created guidelines to help you with searching for scientific information or to help you with writing a scientific paper. You can find these guidelines below.

• Guidelines for searching scientific information
• Guidelines for writing a scientific paper

Students can access scientific software such as Matlab and Mathematica for free. Find more information on which software is available and on how to get access.
