Thesis

In general, you will conduct your thesis as part of ongoing research projects supervised by a Master's programme lecturer, though you may, in exceptional cases, conduct your research in collaboration with your internship organisation.

Enrolment

At the beginning of the Master's programme you will be able to choose a thesis project that best fits your interests.The enrolment procedure for the thesis projects in existing projects is explained in the Blackboard community ‘thesis’ and is open at the beginning of period 1. Keep an eye on Blackboard for the most updated information.

Thesis at the internship place

Research projects conducted with an internship organization must meet specific conditions and be approved in advance. We recommend obtaining approval before the programme starts (August/September). To get permission, submit the form ‘thesis at the internship place’ (requested via thesis.ccfes@uu.nl).

Aim

After completing your Master’s thesis, you are capable of designing and conducting scientific research on one or more of the themes related to the Master’s programme CCFES. The theoretical framework, the research questions, operationalisations, measurement procedures and instruments and research design are based on recent theories and research.
