Master's project

The master's project forms the final element in all specialisations of the master’s programme in Education and Child Studies. The goal of the master’s project is to allow you to experience academic research in practice, by taking part in every step of the empirical cycle.

In the course of the master’s project, you conduct research on an Education and Child Studies theme which falls under one of the specialisations of the master’s programme. You

  • formulate your own research question,
  • conduct a literature review,
  • reflect on the methodological, ethical and practical implications of your research,
  • collect and analyse data related to your research question,
  • draw conclusions,
  • and ultimately record these steps in a final report.

The master’s project is concluded with an individual thesis and an oral presentation.
