Cursusdoelen
After completing the Master's Thesis UCG the student is able to:
  • Independently conduct scientific research within the realm of a chosen specification of human geography;
  • Critically discuss and position his/her own research in state of the art debates in human geography;
  • Critically reflect on his/her conceptual framework, methodology and methods for collection of data;
  • Present his/her research findings in accordance with academic standards, both either written or verbal.
Inhoud

Based on your approved research proposal (see course Preparation for the Master's thesis), you will start your Master's thesis research at the organisation of your choice, where you will do your research internship. You will have two supervisors: a supervisor at the internship provider and your Master's thesis supervisor at the university. However, since the thesis research is intended to prove your competency as a researcher, you will essentially have to conduct your research independently. The supervisors will support you with advice and coaching, but you will have to direct your research work yourself, and you will need to take the initiative. Your research will result in a scientific research report (the Master's thesis). You are also responsible for the time management of the research and of your research internship. Experience has shown that such a Master's thesis research project will take at least six months, although not working full time. So it is advisable to start as soon as possible (but of course not before your research proposal is approved). Your Master's thesis research should be a scientific, theory-led empirical research project taking a practical socio-spatial problem as its starting point.

Voorkennis
Bachelor's degree in Human Geography or related discipline.
This course can be taken as an optional course for Erasmus or other exchange students only if they are enrolled in the full Human Geography Master's programme as part of their learning agreement for exchange students.
If you plan to take the full one-year Master's programme as part of your two-term international exchange visit, and if you want to earn full credits and qualify for the corresponding Master's degree at a later stage, then you should contact the Study Advisor (j.vandewalle@fm.ru.nl). Make sure you do this in advance so the necessary formal arrangements can be made!
