Internships

Within the Master’s Programme it might be possible to take a look behind the scenes of an organisation, by doing external research as part of your Master's thesis.

Step 1: Contact your master's coordinator

If you want to do external research as part of your Master's thesis, it is advisable to prepare yourself at an early stage. First of all, contact your master's coordinator. 

Step 2: Check the requirements

  • The external research must meet the criteria for the Master's thesis.
  • The external organization must provide an active supervisor.
  • The research must align with the primary supervisor's expertise.
  • The assignment and timeline must be clear to avoid time pressure.
  • The external research should be arranged by December.

Step 3: Approval of external research

The external research is considered complete only if the student, the external organisation and the primary supervisor from U.S.E. approve of the problem statement, methodology and output. The external research’s output is made available to the primary supervisor of U.S.E.
