  Select three courses from "Medical Sciences" and one from "Mankind, Environment and Society" in order to get a total of 12 study points; 6 study points in 2nd Bachelor and 6 study points in 3rd Bachelor. Choose one course per semester.
  These optional courses don't have to be included in your ISP but have to be inserted in the Optional Education Programme of the Faculty. You will be thoroughly informed on this subject at the beginning of the academic year. In the end, the courses will be divided by the Faculty and published on Toledo.
  
  The courses of the Faculty of Medicine are only accessible for the students that succeeded in the entrance exam doctor-dentist organized by the Flemish community. Also, the optional courses are only accessible for a certain amount of students (15 to 30) this in order to grade up the educational quality. Students coming from another Faculty that are interested in taking up certain courses need to hand in an official request at the secretariat of the Faculty of Medicine.
