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.
Pay attention: Do you want to do a bachelor thesis focused on CRS per February 2020? Please have a look at the projects below to see what projects we offer. The list of projects is not yet complete and some projects may change or be deleted in the upcoming weeks. A definite list will be available on January 15th. If you have any questions, please contact bachelor thesis coordinator Maaike Noppers (m.noppers@utwente.nl).
