When is the next Master's Open Day?

A new activity in which you can participate and get to experience what it's like to participate in our master's programme! As part of their Individual Learning Plan, two of our students are organising 'Movie Times'. All movies will have a relation to ageing. The first movie is planned on:

  • Thursday 9 January 2025, 15.30-18.00: Documentary 'My Generation', including a discussion with the film maker Anne-Marieke Graafmans

Of course there will be free popcorn and drinks afterwards.

The perfect opportunity to experience the atmosphere and student life at the LUMC!
