All students in the research specialisation of the MSc programmes Chemistry and Life Science and Technology are required to complete a colloquium. The colloquium consists of a literature review of a relevant topic, a presentation on this topic and active participation in scientific discussions at other colloquia.
All rules and guidelines for the colloquium are explained on this webpage. In addition, practical tips and advice are given with links to relevant resources.
Here, students can find the colloquium grading form, oral presentation rubric and attendance list for colloquia and Thesis Talks. Online attendance can be proven with a screenshot of the Live Room at the beginning of the presentation, showing both the presenter's title slide and the student's own name in the participant list.
