Risks or safety issues based on which this sequentiality is imposed
Any risk that endangers the physical/mental health of the student, a fellow-student, staff members or other third parties (e.g. patients, internship providers, etc.). This includes a serious risk that the student will cause damage to machinery/equipment in the context of the programme at Hasselt University/tUL which would impede the continuity of education or research.

Module:
- For students with Biomedical Science backgrround (Ba-BMW): 2 internships of equal duration in physics and chemistry
- For the students with non-biomedical background: one internship in either physics or chemistry and one in BIOMED (equal duration internships).
- For students going abroad via Erasmus scholarships: Topics covering 2 disciplines is a prerequisite (e.g., Material development / material characterization for biomedical applications; Development of methods relevant to biomedical science)
Module content:
During the junior practical training the student will obtain:
- experience in setting up experimental research and specific experiments
- practical experience in modern research techniques and methods
- general insights in different research topics
- experience in keeping a lab journal
- experience in the analyses and reporting of newly obtained results both orally as well as in manuscript form
This course is a first acquaintance for the student with practical research work in different lab environments following the respective lab practices. During this training the focus will be on the exploration of new and relevant research technologies and methods.
Module:
Written report and presentation for each internship

| Evaluation conditions (participation and/or pass) | ✔ |
|
| Conditions | The evaluation is based on 3 elements: Practical work, individual written report and oral presentation and defense of research results. The written report and oral presentation can be redone in resit but the practical work cannot. |
|
|
|
| Consequences | A student that gains a score smaller than 10/20 on one or more of the evaluation elements (Practical work, individual written report and individual oral presentation and defense of research results) receives "fail" as final score. |
|
|
|
| Additional information | written= report + abstract of pitch (on one of the internship topics)
Oral = presentation + pitch talk (on one of the internship topics) |
