Working together
Working on your thesis by sharing experiences and tips with other students, under the guidance of a (peer) coach.
Many students find their graduation research quite a tough assignment. You are often left to your own devices and it can be difficult to get going or to stay motivated. During the thesis week, you will work hard on your research together with other students for one week (five days). Do you need more structure in your day and your head? Do you want tips, personal coaching and inspiration workshops to make a big difference? Then the Thesis Week is definitely for you.
