My study at KI was pleasant. Most lecturers were good and they all knew their subject very well. The organization of lectures is a bit different than in Leiden: in Holland we work a lot in smaller groups, comparible to what were called seminars at KI. The lab however was very poor, it was too easy. We did not have to think for ourselves and everything was already written down in the protocol. I hope that KI will stimulate the students in the future to think more for themselves, cause that is what you have to do when you are a researcher yourself.
The examination was also different: in Leiden we have more open book exams. Advantage of that is that you do not need to learn silly details and you can focus on the mechanisms behind processes. In Sweden I had to learn a lot of details and sometimes lost focus on what I was actually learning. However I learned a lot during my stay at KI and I especially appreciated the more medical practicals we had during the Integrative Physiology course.
