Content

In the first two years of the program, students learn to examine their own attitudes in relation to their behavior through SB. Various methods are used to learn how to reflect. In the fourth year, the focus shifts more towards developing a professional identity, with the development of a starting professional increasingly prominent. Through various assignments, students explore which learning outcomes can be further developed to meet the training profile of the MiZ program. Tools are provided that provide insight into their own actions in relation to their future role.
