Courses with a close group of BRIDGE Fellows
During the two year fellowship, fellows will attend the 15 courses together. Fellows will learn together and from each other in their journey to become translational scientists.
Fellows will become a close-knit group, supporting each another throughout the fellowship and forming a unique network with ideal opportunities for sparring across research disciplines - both during the fellowship and later in their careers as BRIDGE Alumni.
Exam - Passing a course
- To pass a course a fellow must be present and participate actively. Attendance will be registered during all course days.
- Course days are a part of a fellowship. During course days fellows should not plan other activities.
