Objectives and content
The objectives of the elective periods in Master year 1 & 2 are (amongst others):
- To enable the student to explore the field(s) of his/her interest further
- To stimulate the student to gain more in-depth knowledge
- To introduce the student to the many aspects of clinical and/or scientific work
The electives are on the level of a Master year 1 & 2 student. An individual fulfillment of the elective periods is expected of the student, in consultation with a supervisor.

Work formats and weekly schedule
The elective periods can take different forms, like a first step in the direction of clinical research, an in-depth exploration of a specific field, an elective internship or  an elective project outside of the UMC Utrecht (but related to the medical study) etc. When filling in the electives the student has to take the guidelines and criteria  into account (see document ‘Guidelines and criteria electives Master year 1 & 2).

Assessment
Assessment is guided by several criteria, presented on a special assessment form. The criteria include: design and execution of the programme, a written (scientific) report or article by the student ánd an assessment interview with the (main) supervisor. In addition the professional behavior of the student is evaluated. The assessment is recorded by the supervisor on an assessment form designed for this purpose, which the student has received with the approval of the elective(s).

. The assessment forms, the   completed (up to E) application form  and the written report has to be available for the examinor within 6 weeks after termination of the elective period (via the electronic portfolio Scorion)
The examiner will usually endorse the assessment of the supervisor, but will only award study points after making sure the project result and the assessment are in line with the criteria and quality of the elective programme and no plagiarism has been detected during a check.
