Education is of course one of the important aspects of a study association, which is why one of the Board members focuses on this aspect, the Commissioner of Bachelor Education. This person is closely involved in the education of the program and is the first point of contact for students for both comments and improvements regarding the education of our bachelor.
The Commissioner for Education Bachelor is in close contact with the education team of the bachelor of Life Science & Technology and is involved in, among other things, evaluations, tutoring, mentorship, book sales and the education committee.
Do you have questions about any of the aforementioned topics or another education-related topic? Feel free to send a message or email!
Study material
S.A. LIFE provides the study material of our (freshmen)students. Besides that you can buy your books from us (both freshmen and seniors!) via this page, we also provide the rest of the study material. Every year, S.A. LIFE organizes the “lab coat fitting days”. On these days you can get your lab coat and lab goggles, register with S.A. LIFE if you have not already done so, view our merchandise and receive a package from the KNCV upon registration!
Tutoring
Having trouble with a course and in need of extra help? No problem! Through S.V. LIFE, tutorate sessions (a sort of group tutoring) can be organized. If you're struggling with a course, please inform your mentor or the Commissioner of Bachelor Education. If there's enough interest, a tutorate session will be organized that directly addresses the material, including practice exam questions. Interested in assisting with tutoring? Get in touch with the Commissioner of Bachelor Education.
Course evaluations
As a student association, education is a crucial aspect for S.V. LIFE. We ensure the quality of education by organizing evaluations. Therefore, halfway through and at the end of each period, there are oral evaluation meetings of the course response groups for each cohort. The course response groups consist of approximately six to eight voluntary students from a year group, who often meet after a lecture or during lunch under the guidance of the Commissioner of Bachelor Education. If you're interested in evaluating education, you can always request more information about the course response groups from the Commissioner of Bachelor Education or visit the page about the Board of Studies.
Minor
There are a lot of interesting minor educations available in both Leiden and Delft, but also outside of these universities. Below you can download the guide that puts together different experiences of students who have done different minors themselves in previous years. These experiences allow you to see how older Life Science & Technology students experienced their minor education. Have you done a minor yourself, and want share your experiences, please fill out this form.
BEP/MEP information
At the end of your bachelor and master degree you will have to do a bachelor end project (BEP) and master end project (MEP). Are you curious at the different research groups you can do an internship at, then have a look at the BEP/MEP guide of LIFE containing experiences of many LST-students.
