The bachelor and master projects in this specialization focus on conflict, risk and safety
During each semester, there will be around 30 bachelor and master students Psychology working on their thesis with the focus on conflict, risk and safety (CRS). Many projects are in collaboration with partners from practice (e.g., victim support agencies, police, municipality). Below, you will find a list of available subjects for new bachelor or master thesis projects. Of course, we also welcome your own ideas for master thesis projects, as long as they fit the expertise of our department.
Do you want to do a bachelor thesis focused on CRS per February 2021? Please have a look at the projects below to see which projects we offer.
If you have any questions, please contact the bachelor thesis coordinator Florian Bonensteffen (f.bonensteffen@utwente.nl).
