About the course
The course is held on campus with full-time teaching (100%). Full-time teaching corresponds to 40 hours of study per week.
The course is aimed at improving skills in communication that all biomedical researchers require.
The course is divided into two main parts:
Scientific writing in biomedical research (4.5 credits):
Having completed this part, the student will have further developed their tools for writing professional English. Critical reading, writing and written feedback skills are developed in the context of writing a text inspired by a scientific research manuscript.
Personal Development and Applied Biomedical Communication (3 credits):
In this part, the student learns how communication styles, methods and context change with the audience, culminating in the presentation and/or exhibition of scientific concepts in styles appropriate for the scientific community and the general public. A specific focus is placed on illustration and digital communication. The student will also reflect on personal skills that are required for biomedical researchers in different career paths and communication in the international workplace.
