You will be initiated to the Scientific Approach and Critical Thinking in a very interesting and innovative way.

The self-study course is an opportunity to discover the scientific method, research professions and to deepen your capacity to think critically in all situations. The course is composed of 8 interactive and exciting online sections, with contributions from teacher-researchers from the European alliance. Sections last approximately 3 hours each so they are short and easy to manage and are open (in an asynchronous mode) for a 10-week period. The course will be run from 10^th April until 16^th June 2023. This course is open to all students, in an open access self-study approach.

For Bachelor students, full completion opens access to apply to the Internship.

Bachelor students who successfully complete the course will be able to apply for a 1-week internship during the academic year 2023/2024. The internships will be accessible to undergraduate students only. A great opportunity to have an observational period within a research laboratory! Selected bachelor students will have the chance to interact with researchers and PhD students. The objective is to raise awareness on research issues and to develop a deeper understanding of job opportunities in research.

You will find out how a research laboratory works and will test the scientific hypothesis worked on in the virtual class. The internship can be done in a research laboratory of your home university or of one of the EDUC universities in Europe (mobility grants available). A Presentation Day will be organised for the participating students to present their experience.

For the Internships, a separate communication will be sent to students who complete the online course and are interested in this additional opportunity.

Der EDUC Kurskatalog ist eine Zusammenstellung von Online- und Blended-Kursen, die an einer oder mehreren der acht EDUC Allianzuniversitäten (Universität Potsdam - Deutschland, Université Paris Nanterre - Frankreich, Université de Rennes I - Frankreich, University of Cagliari - Italien, University of Pécs - Ungarn, Masaryk University - Tschechien, University of South-Eastern Norway - Norwegen, Jaume I University - Spanien) angeboten werden und den Studierenden innerhalb der EDUC Allianz offenstehen. Der Kurskatalog listet die einzelnen Kurse sowie wichtige Informationen zu Inhalt, Zeitfenster und Bewerbungskriterien der einzelnen Kurse.

Da die Universitäten der EDUC Allianz sehr unterschiedliche Vorlesungszeiträume haben, variieren die Zeitfenster, in denen die Kurse angeboten werden. Details hierzu können im Kurskatalog in der jeweiligen Kursbeschreibung nachgesehen werden. Die zeitliche Planung hängt auch davon ab, ob die Kurse asynchron online, synchron online oder auch blended (d.h. als eine Mischung aus Online- und Präsenzphase) stattfinden – weitere Details hierzu stehen ebenfalls im Kurskatalog.

Die Bewerbung wird in der Regel an die Universität gerichtet, die den Kurs anbietet. Details zur Bewerbung sind in der jeweiligen Kursbeschreibung im Kurskatalog gelistet. Bei Kursen, die (auch) von der Universität Potsdam angeboten werden, ist zudem die Anmeldefrist auf PULS zu beachten.
