Alumni panel:
- Master programme: Education & Child studies (Orthopedagogiek)
- LinkedIn: Andrea Haccou
Andrea has always had an interest in the care of children and adolescents, which motivated her to conduct research on the treatment of children and adolescents with Acquired Brain Injury (Niet-aangeboren hersenletsel (NAH)). She does this as a Researcher/PhD candidate at Basalt Rehabilitation/LUMC. Her research focuses on the development, evaluation and implementation of a (blended) treatment programme for children and adolescents (NAH) within rehabilitation care. With a passion for science, Andrea wants to contribute to better care and support for children and young people with NAH.
In this interactive session, Andrea shares her experiences about doing research and the choices she made during her studies and in her career after her studies.
- Master programme: Developmental Psychopathology in Education and Child Studies (Research)
- LinkedIn: Ymke de Bruijn
Ymke aspired to work with children from a young age, and therefore decided to pursue a bachelor in Education and Child Studies. During the bachelor program, however, she figured out that her heart was not at working with individual children on a daily basis, but rather at contributing to knowledge on more general developmental processes. As such, she completed the research master to prepare her for work in academic research. After, she spent some years at Leiden University as a PhD and post-doc researcher, before moving to Utrecht University where she now is an Assistant Professor at the Youth department of Interdisciplinary Social Science.
In this session, Ymke will tell you more about discovering her interests and ambitions and the choices she made during her studies.
