Webinar online master’s Food Technology | WURtube
hello and welcome to the webinar about the online master in food technology thank you for joining it's really nice to uh to have you here in this online session my name is arien zehrat i'm one of the two program directors of this program and today i will act as the moderator of this session because the start of the show is jennike my name is yannick heising and together with iron i'm program director of the online master food technology and i will present something about the program and hopefully i can also answer all of your questions yeah so uh the goal of this session is to give you uh an overview of what this program is like to to to show you what it is to provide you this overview but for most also it's this is not a web youtube thing that you're looking at you can ask this question i have computer here you can ask questions please shoot your questions at me we really need you to make this webinar an interactive thing if you have questions let me know um and so maybe to to uh to start off it's nice to uh for us to know also a bit uh about you so maybe you can let us know in the question thing i think in the right hand side bottom of your screen there's a orange button there you can post your questions please let us know there where you're from it's nice for us to know a bit away from and to also view to have a bit of a feeling about our audience um so before we start with uh uh a presentation by yannick let's start with a a video uh by in which you will see one of the professors of this program i really like to go to the supermarket i can spend hours in the supermarket and just look at the new products i'm mostly interested in the quality of the food you have to be proud to be a food technologist because you can have an impact on the daily life of the people the food industry and first of all is the one of the largest industry globally but also the degree of innovation that is in in a food industry is very impressive you don't see this but if you think every time you go to the supermarket you see some new product and behind that new product there are people who design the product produce the product scout for new ingredients so it's a continuous innovation i decided to study food technology because i always liked food and i always liked cooking and in school i realized that natural sciences are what is most logical to me which is easiest to me so then i found food technology that would be the perfect fit for me vacant university is number one in food for now many years so if you are someone working in food around the world the wageningen is the first name that come to mind we always say wagenin is the disneyland of the food scientist you will have fun and also you will have a you know reward in in the type of study you are doing is fundamental in some aspect you can really be challenged by the theory and so on but also applicative you can you know design food you can test your ideas in different courses let's say you cannot be bored of study food technologies every period you have new courses that challenge you in a different direction so when you graduate with the info technology with the stick of wageningen on the top it's really a big asset on your cv we're using a lot of sugars and stuff like that and there are always possibilities to reduce the sugar or the fat and just bring in more natural based compounds to get a bit more quality getting back to basic is just to gain more taste and quality without those added sugars salts and fats since i have a background in food technology i also see the production side of their products for example when you have cookies with like a cream filling which is more moisture than the cookies itself and you have to make sure that the cookie still stays crispy i want to become a product designer like the nicest would be for like a big food company of course because you have so many possibilities because they usually not only have like one type of product but many different ones you have many possibilities also in making career and becoming like more than a product designer yeah this was an impression of our education on on the compass it was the program the bachelor food technology and you saw here professor vincenzo for clano and for me it's great to see in this video you can really see the passion of the of the teachers of the professors and also how this inspires our students and this education on the compass we do this already for many many years but since a few years we also give an online program and maybe it's nice to know that the same teachers so the same professors that give the education online they also provide the the the they provide the on-campus education but also the online education so if if food sciences in wageningen is the disneyland of food sciences this is the online disneyland of food sciences maybe you can show us the presentation and give us an idea about what this program is like and how it works yeah good idea so let's go through the program so i prepared a small presentation for you in this presentation i will give you a little bit an overview of the online program so it consists of courses and you also will do a thesis and an internship and at the end there is a lot of space for questions and we also stimulate you to ask questions because we like to ask to answer your questions so basically the online master program focuses on the core of food technology and food technology is really multidisciplinary and it comprises of many disciplines so of course very important are physics chemistry microbiology because the shelf life is important that the birds should be safe but also how to make it so engineering the nutrition there are also some aspects of marketing and maybe you want to have your food specific properties so it's very broad and so we had to make decisions and in our online program we really focus on the core of the food technologies so on ingredient functionality on sustainable food process engineering and on product design and so it's quite generic and a little bit more broad compared to the specializations of the master however you will really learn the basis in a on a very high level so you will learn on how to do food science research on the master level and design food products and explain the disciplines and the re the science behind it if we look to the outline of the program you can see that the program consists of four years and in these four years you are supposed to spend 20 hours per week on your program program so it's a part-time program in the first year you follow courses so in a full-time program you would need to obtain 60 credits but because it's a part-time program you need to obtain 30 credits the same for the second year you will also follow courses and in the third and fourth year you will follow you will focus on doing a thesis and then you will do an internship sometimes students decide to do the uh to combine the third and the fourth year so then they will work full-time on this program and then they can do combine these two years in one year so then the total length of your program will be three years um so in the first two years you will follow courses and maybe it's good to know that all the courses are true three credits um there are many compulsory courses so you have to follow these courses but you can also select some courses that you want to do when we call them restricted optional so there's a list of courses and you have to choose from this list and in this way you can also specialize yourself a little bit on what you want to do and also this can help you to prepare for your thesis that you will do later on in the third year most courses they use different learning materials it's also to activate you because if we would only provide you lectures and fire knowledge clips then it would be very boring so what we do we provide you knowledge clips which are small pieces of a lecture that are especially recorded in the studio so they are really of high quality we've also tutorials in which you can practice with the materials and there's e-learning materials this can be material to read but also exercises and sometimes there's group work but we know that many of you also have a job for example or a family so if you have to work at on the same moment that can be difficult so we always try to be as flexible as possible and our courses are especially designed for this at the end of each course there is a an exam and usually that's an online proctored exam this means that you make your exam behind your computer and there's software that records the activities on your computer and in this way we can control it and it's important for the credibility of your exam so basically in the two years you will follow courses and there are 11 compulsory courses and in the next slide i will show you that as well but besides these courses there are also lab classes and maybe you also saw it in the video that we just showed you there you also saw a lot of lab work because this is also very important of course for a program like food technology so you also need to learn some skills and therefore uh twice in the program you have to come to wageningen in the first year and in the second year and then in both years you come to wageningen for two weeks in february to do lab classes but it's also very nice because then you can also meet the teachers on the campus and you can meet your fellow students so it's also a very nice period to work together in the lab and to get to know each other better and the teachers and i also like to come there and to meet the students so besides these 11 compulsory courses we have these six restricted optional courses to choose from and there's also some space for really optional courses so not restricted but you can choose from every course that you want these can be online courses from another university or from other programs and if you are in wageningen you could also follow for example a campus course so there are lots of possibilities to fill in these credits and you can discuss this with the study advisor so here you see an outline of the first two years with all the different uh courses and you can see that uh every four weeks you have a different course so you really focus for four weeks on one course and then you do the exam and then you start with a new course so it's quite intense but then in the short time you will really learn a lot on the topic then in the third year uh you will do your thesis and there are several possibilities for your thesis a thesis usually that support a project that you do at a department at the university here and that's also possible for the online students so if you follow our online program you can come to wageningen and then at one of the chair groups here you can do your thesis yeah similar to normal campus students but of course it's also possible to do it online on distance so for example you can do a thesis and arrange it together with your employer if you already work for a food company for example it might be possible to do it at your own company or maybe you would you prefer to do it in a what we call a sandwich project so partly at home and partly here at the university and then you can also use the facilities here at the university so this is really up to you and together we can decide what's the best way for you maybe also could you know that the thesis can be done part time but also full time so it really depends on your own flexibility how long it takes and also for the internship there's a lot of flexibility so what is an internship well an internship is a project that's a research project that takes uh four months so 24 credits and normally for many students from a university it's important to get some experience uh in the work field so outside the university but for you the focus is maybe more important on doing scientific research at a company because many of you already have some work experience and therefore sometimes it's also possible to reduce the length of the internship a little bit if you already have a lot of experience the options for an internship are the standard internships so you go to a company and this can be a really large company like uh unilever nestle freestyle campina but it can also be a startup a very small company it can be company netherlands but it can also be a company anywhere around the world it doesn't matter as long as the assignment you work on is on the academic level so you should work independently on a scientific topic and together with internship coordinators we can assess the quality of your topic and see whether it's suitable for doing an internship you will get a supervisor from the university but for intership the supervision mainly comes also from an uh supervisor from the company so that's also something we have to look at when we arrange your internship position but we have a lot of experience with it so there are many opportunities sometimes people also ask for an exemption for an internship because if you already have a lot of work experience we can imagine that this is a logical question and uh sometimes it's possible but not always because it's important that you also did uh that you can also so proof that you did an uh a topic similar to an internship at the company so it should also be a report a research report for example sometimes we can find a solution in between that you can use results and then you only need to write a report on it so we can discuss the possibilities so uh why should you do this online master well uh because you really obtain an academic master from wageningen university so it's similar to our campus master and it's also highly valued of course by the work fields and why should you do this program because you do can do it online from behind your own computer on your workplace or at home and anywhere in the world and also at the time you want to do it so as you saw the courses are scheduled but within the courses there's a lot of flexibility also you should do this online master because the research field of food technology is very important and contributes to major challenges in the world not only now but also in the future if i think about the protein transition about all a a lot of sustainability issues then i'm sure that there are challenges enough uh also in the in the future the labor market is really great both here in the netherlands but also anywhere in the world and our graduates are highly valued so it's easy to get a job after you obtained your master and our education is really work world class it's maybe a little bit weird to say about your own education but it's really excellent teaching and that's not only because we say it but it's also because other people tell it about our education so and we are proud on that um if you want to have more information you can go to our website you can see here at the link but if you have a more specific question and you cannot find the information on the website then you can also send us an email we have a general email address and all the study advisors can read the emails from this email address so they can answer answer your questions but maybe you have a question already now and then you can put it in the chat and then we can discuss it here in the study studio so i and are there already questions there are already questions but there is room for more questions so if you have questions do not hesitate we i mean of course you can send emails but if you send send a question right now you might as well get an answer uh right now so but there are some questions and thank you for that uh thomas has a quite a a practical question uh but important question of course are all teaching materials included in the course or do you still need to buy books ah that's an interesting one usually all materials are available online and it's really rare that you have to buy books and that's also because most of the material we make ourselves so uh usually we design our own readers so we write our own readers and materials and we publish them on our bright space so uh it's in rare occasions uh a book is used for a course but that's really an exception okay maybe you could show us a bit of the bright space a little later we can yeah let's do that later on that's a good idea um thomas has a good question do i need a background in science for this course maybe we can make this a bit broader what types of background do you need to enroll in this yeah in this program uh there are three criteria to uh that is needed to be uh enrolled so first uh your level of english need to be on a sufficient level and there are criteria that you can find on our general website so depending on the test there are different criteria so you really need to fulfill these criteria otherwise you cannot complete your admission files well if you fulfilled your criteria your english criteria then you can complete your admission files and then we can look to your gpa so the average of the grades you obtained in your previous education and also we will look to the relevance of the programme in this master you are supposed to know already a lot about chemistry physics mathematics so pre-education on science is indeed important however work experience can also be important and can replace some missing knowledge but at least you should have quite some some knowledge about chemistry mathematics preferably also food chemistry food physics food process engineering okay thank you uh yannick i hope this question answers your question if not do let us know um another question is uh are all courses pre-recorded or will some be given life uh yeah good question also um we recorded all these knowledge clips already that we did it in the studio and that's because if we broadcast them live uh then we have problems that different students are in different time zones so it can be that you are maybe somewhere in america and then your fellow student is somewhere in asia and another one is europe so the time zones are really different and that's why we decided to make to record all the materials and to provide the materials to you to you that you can work on it at the moment you want so most deadlines they are weekly deadlines not daily deadlines so within a week you can see what you have to do and some prefer to work in the weekend while others prefer to work on monday and friday for example so that's really up to you but they are indeed pre-recorded and usually life attendance is not needed only during the exam that is scheduled on a certain moment and in some cases we use some group work and then it's of course also nice to have some interaction um and then the teacher tries to match groups based on the time zones you are working or living in so that makes it a little bit easier to communicate with each other if you want to communicate with your teacher usually there's also a discussion forum and there you can also post questions or videos type things whatever you want and then students but also the teacher they can answer your question um so then you don't have to work on the same time but you can still see uh the uh feedback from each other and the interaction so usually it's not live interaction but it's not in the same moment but there's still a lot of interaction and also for example maybe nice to know that if we have a recorded clip you can also put notes in the clip so if you have a question about something then the teacher can also see it or there are other students and you can also help each other learning from it cool yeah um there are several questions coming in about yeah it's this part-time uh part-time master's program and then the question is uh will the course loads allow me to continue with my full-time job so there's more questions about this so how does this work to combine this program with jobs yeah yeah well this job is specially made for professionals because we saw that there are many people that are working in the food industry but they still want to obtain a master and then of course it's not possible to come to wageningen every day to do a master program so this is therefore a part-time master however the workload is still quite serious because it still takes you 20 hours per week so that's quite a lot so the courses are also designed on working for 20 hours per week so if you have a full-time job well then this is really quite a big workload and then you really need to work in the weekends and in the evenings for example on it but remember that it's not like two hours per week it's really it's meant for 20 hours per week yeah so it's serious work it's serious work yes especially during the first two years maybe during the internship in the thesis then you can combine it maybe with your own job a little bit but during the courses yes yeah okay though uh serious work but you can also get a serious diploma it's not like a mooc or something except so the question by daniel is are students also allowed to follow in-person classes in wageningen from other masters for the optional courses that is an option but for the other uh yeah on the other moments you already have uh classes that are scheduled so um yeah on the other places that's it's not possible okay and another question by the same danielle thanks for your questions uh how much time uh is spent per week on mandatory classes and on preparing the classes from homework i think you uh is it 50 50 the the classes in homework yeah well that depends a little bit because in in each class you have knowledge clips which replace normal lectures and you have to do assignments but depending on the class in some classes you really have to make a lot of exercises because we have some classes on engineering and then you have to make a lot of calculations for example so if you calculate that as homework yeah then you'll spend a lot of time on it so what we say is the total so when you are doing your exercises or when you are watching electric clips or whatever you are doing for your class in total it should be 20 hours per week so it's not that you have to watch lecture clips for 20 hours and do homework the homework or doing the exercises is incorporated in the 20 hours per week um so 20 hours per week that's the uh that's the thing to keep in mind there yeah um another is also several questions are there about uh do we have to pay for three years uh how does it work with uh tuition fees uh i was ordered a loan scholarship that covers two years worth of tuition fees so so how does this work yeah and then maybe it's good to go to the website of ssc because on the website of sc you can find the tuition fees for this program and also for the other programs because it also depends on where you're coming from and also they show there the possibilities for scholarships and i think scholarships usually they are meant for a normal program but i think it's more about that you have to their aim is to that you do a program somewhere else on a specific topic and this is similar to our other masters so i think this could also be suitable for a usual for usual scholarship okay though please let us know if uh if you want to have more information um let me look um there's a lot of questions here this is a nice question also to uh to pick up here how many students apply yearly and i think it's nice to know applications is one thing but how many students enroll for this program yearly we started this program a few years ago and in the beginning it was really small so we had like six students the year after seven eight last year we suddenly grow to 30 students so for this year i don't know how many students that there will be we think that below 10 it's a little bit slow small because we also want some interaction between students but we also do not want to grow to more than 100 students because that's also not feasible and we also aim for a lot of personal attention for everybody and the teachers they really also want to be able to help every student so i think 30 students is fine but if there are 50 students that would also be fine so yeah i think we don't want to go below 10. um then a question by bom laku uh uh bamlaku i don't know if it's he or she but apparently you really like this uh this session you wonder if it's it will be available online afterwards i quickly check with uh with operator yes it is so you can find you can re-watch this webinar online uh when we're done um a question by uh vincent and that's that's going back to the admission criteria uh so is it possible to enroll with a hbo uh that's a professional bachelor's this is a dutch dutch thing a professional bachelor from habio can you enroll for this program yes you can again the relevance of the program is important so we will look to the transcript of the courses you followed and then we can assess whether these are relevant and or that you need to follow some extra courses but definitely that doesn't matter it's still a hbo program so okay clear and i like this one one is it possible to do more than 30 ecs per year so if i if i decide to switch to a full-time master's in food technology it's not possible to switch from the online master program to the normal program because the setup is different and the schedule is also different so yeah they are really separate so you need to make the decision whether you want to follow the full-time on-campus program or the online part-time program you have to make this decision before the start yeah okay you can enroll for both and then make the decision on the moment you start okay i think that's clear what is not yet fully clear apparently is the tuition fee question and i think i agree with sashin that we should make it more clear so the question is do you need to pay tuition fees for one two three or four years um you pay for four years however you pay half of it so basically it's similar to the normal program okay so tuition fees are half of normal programs you pay per year that you enroll yeah okay let me look a very important question also do we follow the dutch holiday scheme in terms of agenda maybe we can go back to our program um so here you can the holidays i don't think no they are not in right no they are not in the in this schedule well we do have the holidays in uh around christmas and we do have uh holidays uh in the summer but the calendar is not exactly similar to the the calendar of the on campus but the holidays they are similar but we only have two holidays okay um practice another practical i like practical questions because they often are very important do student do i need a student visa for two weeks for the two weeks that we need to be there in person in february maybe this is a question you don't have an answer to no i don't do you have an answer but maybe the answer is here send us an email yeah and uh maybe especially send an email to no send us an email uh with this question and then we'll get back to you yeah and then we also learned something we didn't know i know that we can help you uh with housing for uh to give you some advices for during these two weeks and and also provide you with all kinds of other information okay um just we're really warming up but the questions are now yeah but maybe it's also nice to show the bright space environment yeah so uh because good idea that gives a bit of an idea and then uh after after this we'll come back with some more questions then we can do more questions so uh what i would like to show you is um yeah we are providing the education online and uh for each course we have a bright space and that's basically the starting point for your course so in the bright space we upload all the materials so materials to read but also the knowledge clips so every course has a bright space and here you can see the home page of one of the courses and this is the courses that i the course that i designed a few years ago so it's about predicting food quality and on the homepage the teacher can write a message that yeah they can write an announcement for example that is relevant for all the students in the course then you saw that the courses usually take four weeks so therefore the content is also uh divided in four weeks um so you see a heading course information uh in which we provide for example a course guide and some tips but the materials are placed in the in four weeks and then you can see what you need to do every week so there's also a discussion board for every week where you can place questions on the materials of that week and if you click on it then you come on the discussion board and there you can see the questions that you place but also the questions from other students and then the teacher but also student other students can answer it and you can also discuss on the content which is very nice sometimes you really see interesting discussions on it and sometimes the teacher can also ask you questions um and sometimes it's also an assignment that you have to reflect on what you learned and then the teacher can also see whether you understood the materials and this can also help you in learning so um that's really a nice learning uh platform so if we uh look in this is an example of the activities that are placed in module one of week one of this course and there you can see that i placed their videos but also pdf documents with lecture notes so this in this case the reader it's also cut in small pieces in which you can read the material that belongs to the videos and you also see an assignment so with different symbols you can see the different activities and maybe you can also see that there's a clock right above with one hour so the this is an estimation of the time that you need to complete these activities for so for these activities these four activities yeah the estimation is that it will take you one hour so really also to read the lecture notes for example if you would click on the video link then you come here and this is a very interesting picture of me it's one of the knowledge clips that i recorded in the studio and here you can can see such a clip it's a small clip of about six minutes for example which is about a specific topic and um and we tried to make uh small clips and then we give you an assignment and then something to read and then another activity which really helps to it activates you to learn the material so you learn something you practice something and you reflect on something and in this way it gives you the most optimal learning experience and that's especially uh important if you work online okay thanks jennica that's uh that was the bright space and maybe that partly answers also the question by francesco about what is the structure of tutorial sessions how do they work maybe also maybe you can talk a bit more about that also about you you told at the beginning that there is some group work not too much how does it work group work and tutorials in an online master yeah but in tutorial sessions what we often have is that the teacher provides you an assignment and depends on the course but if we have for example uh calculation courses then we often use specific software that we designed ourselves which is lab body and in this program the teacher can upload materials and exercises and then for example if you have to calculate something you have to enter your answer so it can be multiple choice or open and then if you give an answer that is not correct so the outcome of calculation then the program automatically gives you feedback so for example you calculated something but you make made an error with decimal then your answer was 25 instead of 250 and then the program automatically provides you feedback like did you think about the decimal and in this way with the tips hopefully you come to the correct answer and then in the end you can go through so often because you have to work on your own and you don't have a teacher standing next to you in this way we provide you the feedback and of course if there are still questions you can always ask the teacher but with the help of software we already provide you a lot of feedback in there is a course in which you really have to work in groups on the designing a product and there you can work on brightspace because you can also decide to use other communication things like whatsapp or google docs if you find it easier so that's also possible so that's more the traditional way of working okay um relatedly there's a question about what is the age group of the class you already me we already discussed before that there's this possibility of doing this master next to your job which probably means that it's not the standard type of master uh yeah groups no that's true that's uh what i saw uh last february when i uh gave a lecture uh to the students when they were here in wageningen and our first year students i noticed that there is a lot of variance between our students because there are students that are really young and they just want to do the online program and combine it with working but there were also students i also spoke to a woman and she her child he was now almost an adult and she had always had this dream of doing a master so now she had the time for it so yeah cool yeah never stop learning no and i also really like to speak to those students because many of them because uh they have more experience already they also there are so motivated in what they want so it's it's very nice cool um there's somebody here also who knows uh what in this case he wants he wants to focus on analytics artificial intelligence on topics like global eco economics is this covered is this covered in this master or our program is really on the technology of food production so the economics not really so i wouldn't say that discovered sustainability is but that's also more on sustainability issues during the production of foods so in food technology we are really in the diving in the technological aspects of food so really in the molecules and and of course you also have food systems can also be very broad and you can also look uh to it from a social point of view for example but that's not that's not covered in this program that's also not really fun for technology in our other on-campus program we do cover it but not in this food technology program and also not in our campus food technology program okay i think that also can answers another question whether there are opportunities during the master to specialize in bio based economy sustainability themes and plant-based proteins the last two if you want to dive into sustainability in this program there are also some courses on sustainability and then also during your thesis and internship you can choose a topic that focuses on the sustainability aspects and also the plant-based uh products yeah that's really a hot topic now uh in the food technology and we also have a professor at kraut you can look up he is doing great research on plant-based foods so he developed the technique and he's producing plant-based products from structuring the proteins in a more sustainable way and he started with it already 20 years ago or something like that and now it's really used all over the world so it's fantastic and of course if you are interested in it you can do a thesis on that topic for example okay clear i think there's some questions about courses from other masters can you bring bring courses that you've done on uh previously uh from another university can you get these accredited or can you use these credits at the waghning at this program um i don't think that is possible actually i don't think that we can make exemptions for things you did before in the courses but it's also a very specific question so maybe if they're if these yeah so it depends very much on the situation yes so yeah also typically a question send us an email with uh what you did and then we can address this question um one question is also by the student uh working coming from the from the hbo uh who is maybe in doubt whether uh he has enough background in statistics so he wonders is it possible to get some help during this online master freshing up or doing some extra work on this statistics side of things yeah well generally statistics is not very important for this master program mathematics is but more that you have to make differential equations for example um but what we sometimes offer in courses is that we offer like also in this course you can in let me show you uh yeah here you can see that left above you see module zero and basically i made that module because it contained some information um that is not part of the course but it's just to prepare you for this course so it's kind of assumed knowledge but if you don't have it then you can uh watch the material learning material that is provided here and in many courses we provide some material in this way so if you need some extra help then this is an option and if it's not provided you can also ask the teacher whether the teacher has some tips like okay i'm i'm noticing that i have a lack in something do you have some advice for me okay so there are some refreshers and kickstarters there okay cool um mandatory classes are they in the morning or afternoon that gives away a bit that daniel knows the wageningen system quite well yeah but uh that's um on our campus program so here um you can even do do them during the night it's up to you uh when you want to work on your uh courses okay i think that's a that's a very clear answer um it's a lot of fun to study during the night so what's the deadline for application do you know about not by heart i think uh depends on where you're from so look you can look it up at the waghaning website and then to the admissions page there you will find all the information also and on admission criteria um we're pretty much almost there there are some quite specific questions so maybe this question is good to answer uh i do not have a proof of english proficiency yet through a test do i need to submit it before the application deadline or after with the condition conditional offer i think the answer is you need we need to offer it you need to have the proof of english proficiency before uh because this this is the first step of assessing your application correct me if i'm wrong yes yeah i think if you don't have it then the admission committee cannot see your application and not assess it so therefore you need to have it before daniel has a specific question about an example of a master thesis on the area of food production and industry 4.0 automation i think this is a specific question also uh to uh yeah reach out or look look up in the library in the library you can find many many of the thesis also no there are not that many in our library because many thesis are also part of a project of a phd so but if you want to know you can look on the website of our food chair groups because usually when you do a thesis you are working for a professor or a phd that is working on the topic so if you look on the website and you can see the education of the chair groups we have five food chair groups we have food chemistry food physics for process engineering food microbiology and food quality and design and together they provide most of the education and on there they all have a website and also a linkedin page and there they uh also distribute articles of their research and you can see the projects that on which they are working and then you can also see yeah what type of research they are doing and if there's something interesting for you okay and maybe a nice last question to close off with this master is this a good preparation for doing a phd there's somebody yeah yes definitely yeah because here on the university we also have many phd doing a research and so there are regularly uh phd vacancies and uh of course they hire people for with a master in uh in full technology so and we have had some very good online master students and i think the teachers would love to offer them a phd so definitely that's a possibility it's not granted because a phd is just like a normal job you really have to apply on it and they will select somebody but there are a lot of phd positions okay on that note i think uh we would like to thank you very much for joining us in this online session i think also janika for her extensive uh uh uh presentation and uh and answering all these uh very interesting questions thank you for for asking the questions definitely i really loved your questions what's so nice to do okay and uh yeah maybe see you uh online in our online masters program uh uh starting next year maybe the year after or maybe you come and join one of our uh uh uh offline on campus programs anyway thank you for joining and have a good evening or morning or whatever time it is over there yeah that's true bye
