Da Vinci is not a regular course; you will work in groups with students from other disciplines at an external stakeholder. This requires coordination from us as organization, so when you sign up for Da Vinci, we expect you to start and dedicate the stipulated time to this programme.

Da Vinci asks for a full-time commitment: the first 10 weeks on Mondays you will follow live workshops at Utrecht University, and for two days in the week, you will work at the location of the stakeholder. The remaining time, you can decide with your group where you would like to work and divide the tasks.

This means that depending on your assigned stakeholder, you might have to travel there using public transport. Da Vinci cannot compensate the travel costs. Dutch students are eligible for the student travel product which allows them to travel for free during the week. If you are not from the Netherlands, you might be eligible for the student travel product as well. To check whether this is the case, please consult the website of DUO
