The student can choose a research project of choice within the scope of the CPS program.  The research project consist of at least the following elements; practical work, writing a research report, and presenting the project and the results orally in the research group. Further, the student will likely contribute to several  group meetings of the research group and other common research activities. Projects can be chosen in Utrecht, within the Departments of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Biology and Chemistry, and the Faculties of Medicine (UMCU) and Veterinary Medicine.

During the course of the research project, 5 obligatory meetings will be planned, mostly very 4 weeks at Friday (exact dates will be announced at Blackboard). Topics are e.g. presenting the research plans, presenting data of a relevant review article, learning how to write a good research report in English, present your results either orally or by a research poster.
