Within the REMA IDA curriculum, students will take 3 Elective courses, of a total of 18 ECTS, which may be: (a) IDA internal Electives (Advanced applications at work or in health)], (b) IDA special clinical Electives (CNP diagnostics or treatment methods) and (c) IDA external Electives (any course of a ReMa program at Tilburg University or any other (Dutch) University).
The Elective courses take place in Block 1 and/or Block 2 of Year 2. This way, students have gained knowledge from the first year courses and from writing their first paper. With more crystallized interests, awareness of current knowledge gaps, and their curiosity, students can make an informed judgment regarding their choice of elective courses.
Taking the IDA special clinical Electives courses deepens your clinical understanding for individual differences, and is relevant in the process of qualifying for the LOGO declaration, a requirement for enrollment in the Dutch postgraduate clinical education (GZ psychology). However, this option is only relevant for students who fulfill the additional requirements for the LOGO declaration. In case you are interested in the opportunity to combine your Research Master studies with completing a Clinical Master, please contact your study advisor or the Academic Director of the programme and ask for additional information.
Some examples of the courses that our students took outside of the IDA program (external Electives) are: Experimental Research and Meta-Analysis, Foundations of Organizational Studies, Emotion and Motivation, Behavioural Decision-Making, Organisation and Groups, Bayesian Statistics.
