Internship

In Human Geography we warmly recommend, but do not make it mandatory, that students do a research internship. We do require students to engage with one or more societal partners throughout the process of (1) defining their research topic, (2) sharing first insights from data collected (e.g. with a presentation), and (3) at the end, sharing their thesis and optionally (depending on their topic and motivation) some kind of policy or research report. Should students choose to do an internship then this needs to be seen as an integrated part of the thesis trajectory.

Study abroad

The Master’s programme is planned to last one year – three blocks with courses, one block writing the thesis. Studying abroad is not an integrated option. However, if you plan to do so, get in contact with the International Office about opportunities. Such a study abroad is possible but will delay your study progress.
