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 welcome your own ideas for a project, as long as they fit the expertise of our department.
Pay attention: Do you want to do a bachelor thesis focused on CRS per September 2018? Please have a look at the projects below to see what projects we offer. If you have any questions, please contact graduation coordinator Jan Gutteling (j.m.gutteling@utwente.nl).
