If you choose an assignment in the Positive Clinical Psychology and Technology (PCPT) track:

Step 1: Make a top nine of your options for assignments with a maximum of 3 options per thematic clusters. These clusters are:

So, for example you can choose 3 assignments from cluster 1, 3 from cluster 4 and 3 from cluster 5. Or you can choose 2 assignments from cluster 1, 2, 3 and 6 and 1 from cluster 4.

From Thursday January 18th to Tuesday January 23rd 2024 you can fill in the online registration form (link below) and specify your nine options. You can also upload your short motivation letter for a specific assignment (when so requested in the assignment; typically for externally commissioned assignments with few places available). 

Note: Students who have permission from the coordinator to do their own thesis assignment still have to register. In this case, please select ‘own assignment’ as first option.

Step 2: From February 1st 2024 you will receive an e-mail about the assignment you can start with and the supervisors assigned to you.

We will do our utmost best to take into account your preferred assignment when allocating assignments. However, we cannot guarantee that you will receive the assignment of your choice.

Step 3: After you have been informed by the coordinator about the assignment you can contact your supervisor to schedule the first meeting. The first meeting will be scheduled with all students on the same assignment.

Please note: Bachelor assignments on the website are provisional until 17 January 2024 and can be removed or altered. From 18 January 2024 onwards, the list of assignments will be definitive.

PROCEDURE MASTER:

Coördinator: dr. Anneke Sools (a.m.sools@utwente.nl)

On this website you will find the list of available master thesis assignments offered by the specialization Positive Clinical Psychology and Technology. If you choose an assignment in the Positive Clinical Psychology and Technology (PCPT) track:

Step 1: Select which number of ECs applies to your situation. For students from the current cohort: 14 EC (standard thesis with 19 EC clinical internship) or 23 EC (large thesis with 10 EC research or educational internship). For students from previous cohorts: 10 EC (standard thesis with 20 EC clinical internship) or 30 EC (large thesis without an internship). In case you want to pursue a clinical internship, but have no confirmation yet, we recommend to choose the standard 14 EC thesis option. You can discuss the most recent status of your internship situation during the first meeting with your supervisor, and discuss how to extend the thesis to 23 EC if necessary.

□ 10 or 14 EC (standard thesis)

□ 23 or 30 EC (large thesis)

Step 2: Make a top six of your options for assignments with a maximum of 2 options per method stream. These streams are: 

1. Literature Review
2. Longitudinal Intensive Methods
3. Qualitative research
4. Text mining
5. Other

So, for example you can choose 2 assignments from stream 1, 2 from stream 4 and 2 from stream 5. Or you can choose 2 assignments from stream 1, and 1 from streams 2, 3, 4, and 5. Students from older cohorts who have to do a 10/30 EC thesis can select the 14/23 EC equivalent and inform their supervisors during the first thesis meeting that they are following the old program.

From 15 - 18 April, 2024 you can fill in the online registration form (link below) and specify your six options.

Step 3: You will receive an e-mail about the assignment you can start with and the supervisors assigned to you. We will do our utmost best to take into account your preferred assignment when allocating assignments. However, we cannot guarantee that you will receive the assignment of your choice.
