To what extent and how do identity processes influence health behavior?

Do you have a general interest in a particular degree programme, but you do not want to complete the entire programme? Many programmes offer the option of becoming a contract student. That means you would not legally be considered a student, but you would have the right to take examinations.

The active learning ambition is based on the idea that knowledge is more likely to ‘stick’ when students are actively engaged with their learning and research. This active student participation has implications for how we teach: less consumption of knowledge and more efficient use of contact hours.
