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.

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. 

In Fall 2024, the Science Student Assistants are Lucia Perdiguero Franco and Fenna Roovers.

Their office hours are located in Newton-Kk, and are scheduled as follows:

Fenna (Mathematics, Physics) - f.h.a.roovers@uu.nl

• Monday: 17.30 - 19.30
• Wednesday: 17.30 - 19.30

Lucia (Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry) - l.perdiguerofranco@uu.nl

No office hours, but assisting in Classical Electrodynamics (UCSCIPHY21/26) and available for chemistry-related questions.

Please keep an eye on the Science Student Assistants Facebook for additional announcements and extra office hours during exam periods. Feel free to contact Lucia or Fenna directly with any questions you might have.

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.
