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 current subjects for Bachelor or Master thesis projects; please note that each year, projects will be updated or removed. Of course, we also welcome your own ideas for bachelor thesis projects, as long as they fit the expertise of our department. In this case, please send your research proposal at least two months prior to the thesis start to the track cooridnator (detailed information can be found here: https://www.utwente.nl/en/psy/graduationweb/bachelor/preparing-thesis/#12-choosing-your-specialization)
