General studies in health
This certificate course is designed in such a way that the participants are able, on the one hand, to continue their education independently after the course, and on the other hand, to acquire a deeper insight into one of the most important topics in life - namely health - themselves.
Nowadays, Studium Generale usually refers to all non-compulsory, public courses offered by a university. In keeping with the humanistic educational heritage, they embody the mission of higher education institutions to promote a comprehensive general education.
In addition, the term refers to an orientation phase, usually lasting two semesters, during which first-year students attend courses in different disciplines at the same time. This is intended to facilitate a better decision when choosing a field of study and, at the same time, to ease the transition from pure learning at school to scientific work at university.
In the Studium Generale, competencies and topics are examined from a wide variety of health perspectives. A wide variety of assignments, exercises, and activities are chosen to apply "study tools," thus creating a routine for students to complete even a comprehensive course of study. A benefit both for people who are now moving from a vocational apprenticeship towards university studies as part of the Bruges/Copenhagen process, or academics who have been out of university for a while and want to continue their education through an academic continuing education program and thus reacquire the current skills for studying.
