BSc Life Science and Technology promo video

The brief
The Bachelor’s programme in Life Science and Technology is constantly evolving. For this project, we created a promotional video that gives prospective students a clear and current picture of the programme and of the paths it can lead to after graduation.

Behind the scenes
The main task here was clarity. A study programme like this needs to feel accessible without losing depth, so the video had to explain the content in a way that feels easy to follow and still academically credible. The result was a piece that balances information with a more inviting, student-facing tone.

Why this one stood out
What makes these projects valuable is that they sit somewhere between information and recruitment. The video has to answer practical questions, but it also has to help future students imagine themselves in the programme. Getting that balance right is what makes it work.

Supermarket Robot: Designing Socially Embedded Service Robots in Virtual Reality

What happens when a robot helps you shop? This question shaped a groundbreaking project led by Dr. Marco Rozendaal, where VR simulations in a supermarket explored how people and robots interact in public spaces. By blending design, theatre, and puppeteering, the research revealed how robots can earn trust and acceptance—not through perfect programming, but by designing behaviors that feel meaningful and socially appropriate.

Point and Click Game Online course 

To enhance medical education, Dr. Marjon Stijntjes developed a web-based simulation that teaches students to assess the revalidation needs of elderly patients after hospital discharge. Set in a virtual home environment, students gather clues by interacting with everyday objects, simulating real-life clinical judgment. The patient’s condition evolves weekly, training students to recognize change over time. Accessible via browser, the tool has been praised for its intuitive, gamified design and practical relevance — a powerful example of how serious games can transform healthcare training.
