In Research Project 3, you are going to expand and deepen your research skills and your communicative skills, by independently designing and conducting a study on a psychological topic. This topic fits within one of the three main fields of Psychology: Brain & Cognition, Behavior & Environment, Development & Mental Health.
Research Project 3 has a strong connection with the Bachelor's Thesis course, in which you will individually write a research paper about the study you conducted in Research Project 3.
Preceding the start of Research Project 3, a number of different research topics will be presented to students. After registration for the course, students can indicate their preferences for the different topics by filling in a test on Brightspace. Based on these preferences students will be assigned to a specific research project together with 1 to 4 fellow students.
After being assigned to a project, you will make appointments with your teacher and the other students in your research group about the dates and times of the meetings for Research Project 3 and Bachelor's thesis.
