The Academic Professional year-long linking course integrates the various course components in the Youth, Education, and Society Master’s curriculum. The underlying aim of this is to shape students into academic professionals – critical thinkers who can move smoothly between theory and practice and apply the latest knowledge and basic skills to identify, evaluate and resolve problems in social contexts. The professional field is actively involved in shaping this programme. Students can apply the knowledge, attitudes and skills they learn through various types of learning activities in assignments relating to the professional field of their choice.
Ethics and job market orientation are essential aspects of the Academic Professional course.
Ethics (1.5 EC, 42 hours) covers both academic and professional integrity and focuses on critically examining professionals' ethical behaviour in research and educational practices; critically assessing and discussing academic sources; developing academic curiosity; collaborating with stakeholders and taking account of their interests; sharing knowledge; maintaining professional networks; taking part in peer reviews; dealing with conflicting interests of organisations; exhibiting academic integrity as laid down in the Association of Universities in the Netherlands (VSNU)'s Netherlands Code of Conduct for Scientific Practice 2012; gaining an understanding of and being able to reflect on the development of your own professional identity; and being able to realise this by developing your own competencies as relevant to the needs of the job market. The faculty offers a course on academic integrity and ethics, comprising a lectures programme. The department offers Masterclasses correspond closely to topical debats on relevant subjects and policy areas in the field of Developmental Aid, Youth Care and Education. The programme invites experts (Youth, Education and Society lecturers, internship supervisors, alumni and/or specialists) from the professional field to share their practical experience with students – a glimpse of the work of an expert in the field and encourage students to think about professional integrity and talk about topical and ethical issues / cases from the expert's professional field.
Job market orientation (1.5 EC, 42 hours) concentrates primarily on your professional identity, forming a view on who you are as a professional and being able to articulate this, orally or in writing, and taking your first active steps onto the job market. Students also explore the Association of Educationalists in the Netherlands [NVO] basic educationalist professional profile, as well as their own affinity with it and their motivation for pursuing it. Lectures and scheduled meetings are, in principle, compulsory for all Youth, Education and Society students, but there is room for individual choices in the job market orientation component (eight hours). Examples of these options include Youth, Education and Society excursions, visits to a research or educational conference, or a lecture.
Students attend lectures concerning Juveniles and Law (1 EC, 28 hours) in order to meet the NVO's entry requirements after completing the Master’s programme. You will complete the year-long course with an individual reflection dossier (1 EC, 28 hours), primarily dedicated to reflecting on your own professional development. You will write a brief report about your study activities, including a reflection on the relevance and applicability of your internship, thesis and future professional profile (no more than four pages, excluding title sheet and appendices). The final version of your reflection dossier will be assessed by the internship supervisor using an assessment form.
