Academic Presentation

A Bachelor's degree in Fundamental and Applied Research is a specialized academic program designed to equip students with the skills and knowledge needed to conduct in-depth research across a wide range of disciplines. This degree program combines the foundational principles of research methodology with practical applications, preparing graduates for careers in research, development, innovation, and academia.

Key components of EULER' Bachelor's degree in Fundamental and Applied Research include:

Research Methodology:  Students receive comprehensive training in research methods, including qualitative and quantitative approaches, data collection, analysis, and interpretation. They learn how to design experiments, surveys, and studies to gather and analyze data effectively.

Scientific Inquiry:  The program emphasizes critical thinking and problem-solving skills, encouraging students to ask meaningful questions and explore new areas of knowledge. This foundation is essential for conducting rigorous research.

Interdisciplinary Studies:  Many programs offer the flexibility to explore a variety of fields, allowing students to apply research techniques and principles across different subjects. This interdisciplinary approach broadens their research capabilities.

Practical Experience:  Hands-on experience is a crucial component of this degree. Students will engage in research projects, internships, or collaborations with faculty members, gaining practical skills and exposure to real-world research challenges.

Data Analysis and Technology:  Students learn to use advanced software and tools for data analysis, modeling, and visualization. Proficiency in these technologies is vital in contemporary research.

Communication Skills:  Effective communication of research findings is emphasized. Students develop strong writing and presentation skills, enabling them to convey their research results to both academic and non-academic audiences.

Ethical Research Practices:  Ethical considerations in research, including the responsible conduct of research and issues related to integrity and plagiarism, are central to the curriculum.

Specialization:  Depending on the program, students may have the option to specialize in areas such as scientific research, social sciences, climate & earth sciences, health sciences, or engineering research.

Graduates of a Bachelor's degree in Fundamental and Applied Research are well-prepared for a range of educational and career paths. They can pursue roles in research institutions, universities, government agencies, private industry, and non-profit organizations.

Potential career options include research analysts, data scientists, laboratory technicians, research associates, policy analysts, and academic researchers.

Furthermore, this degree equips students with a strong foundation in critical thinking, problem-solving, and research skills, which are highly transferable and valuable in many professional settings. It also serves as a stepping stone for those who wish to pursue advanced degrees (master's or doctoral) and become experts in their chosen fields of research.

Basic Program Outline (Indicative)

Academic / Employment Outlook

This program is suitable for immediate employment (ideally part-time or consulting positions, during which further studies can be pursued). EULER programs do provide broad knowledge and applicable skills, including Internet know-how, professional writing, and copywriting, and marketing.

EULER (short form, long form: The Euler-Franeker Memorial University Institute) is an independent academic institute formally established within EUCLID (Euclid University), an intergovernmental treaty-based organization with a university charter. EULER also holds a separate university charter within the Kingdom of the Netherlands, which allows it to confer both EUCLID and EULER degrees under national and international law.

Thanks to this strategic history and relationship, EULER is able to take full advantage of EUCLID’s infrastructure and institutional recognition while maintaining its unique characteristics and vision.

At the Crossroads of Tradition and Modernity

EULER’s vision as a “Memorial” university is to continue and revive the tradition of scientific rigor, disputation (formal debate), and socio-spiritual engagement of Europe’s great universities, notably of the original Franeker University, which delivered extraordinary education between 1585 and 1811. EULER benefits from the financial, technological, and academic support of an intergovernmental organization to resume and engage a great tradition of global academic excellence.

Our History

We are proud to be part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands as, indeed, our roots go deep in history, all the way to the Netherlands in the 1500s, 1585 to be exact, the year of the establishment of the University of Franeker. This remarkable university continued in its original form until it was disbanded by the French Emperor Napoleon in 1811 and eventually ceased operations, even its Athenaeum form in 1843. However, the ‘ashes of Franeker’ remained smoldering as its enduring vision to harmonize science, philosophy, research, and theology remained increasingly relevant.

One hundred and eighty years later, the flame was reignited by means of a memorial university charter approved by the Ministry of Education, Science, Culture and Sports (Willemstad, Curaçao, Kingdom of the Netherlands). The charter granted to the Euler-Franeker Memorial University (Foundation) the legal right to revive the legacy and vision of this remarkable Dutch institution while also commemorating, for the first time in a university name, the profound legacy of Leonard Euler.
