Admission requirements
Third-year students of the Honours College FSW programme participating in the Bachelor thesis project of their regular study.
Description
In consultation with your Bachelor thesis supervisor, you will extend your Bachelor’s thesis by 3 EC (= 84 hours) as part of your Honours FSW programme. The purpose of this extension is to provide you the opportunity to learn more from the Bachelor project. Together with your Bachelor thesis supervisor, you will decide how to extend your thesis. There are several possibilities, for example:
An additional literature study, and/or
An additional research question, and/or
Carrying out more sophisticated statistical analyses.
Of course you could also collect more data, but this can only be a (small) part of the extension.
For Psychology students: If you participate in the Honours Research Bachelor Project (HRBP), you do not need to extend your bachelor’s thesis, this is already included in the HRBP.
Please inform your Bachelor thesis supervisor at the start of the Bachelor project that you need to extend your Bachelor’s thesis by 3 EC as part of your Honours FSW programme. Do this as soon as possible so that your supervisor is aware of this requirement and that there is sufficient time to talk about an interesting addition to your thesis. On the Brightspace page of your cohort, you will find more specific instructions and the grade submission form. Email these instructions and this grade submission form to your Bachelor thesis supervisor at the start of the project.
