Bij voltijd- en duale opleidingen van Avans volg je de eerste 1,5 jaar binnen je eigen opleiding onderwijs, zodat je een vaste thuisbasis hebt en de benodigde basiskennis opdoet. Daarna krijg je de mogelijkheid om een groot deel van je resterende opleiding zelf in te vullen. Dit is 25% van de gehele 4-jarige opleiding, je kiest dus in totaal 1 jaar zelf. Dit doe je met (vrijekeuze) modules vanuit je eigen opleiding of andere opleidingen die het beste passen bij wat jij wilt leren. Maar je kunt ook een route volgen die dicht bij je gekozen opleiding ligt en voor verdieping in je vakgebied zorgt. Het maken van deze keuzes doe je niet alleen, je wordt hierbij begeleid door onze studieloopbaanbegeleiders en docenten.
