The Master Research Honours consists of three separate courses, each worth 5 EC. Successful completion of the three courses will be awarded with the Certificate of the Research Master Honours programme and the University of Twente Honours Pin.
Track structure
RESEARCH MANAGEMENT & ACADEMIC SKILLS (COURSE CODE 201400532)
This course aims at a broad range of topics related to doing research. The activities include workshops on Research Management, Meet the Editor, Presentation Skills and Science Slam, Understanding Life of Research and Personal Effectiveness.
RESEARCH HONOURS TRAINING & PROJECT (COURSE CODE 201400533)
The course aims at practising science research writing . Students will write either a research article or research proposal and will receive feedback during this process in three individual coaching sessions, of which the final one is also the final assessment of the research article. In addition, students will reflect on their professional development and finally, they will organise a final workshop as part of the closing "Apotheosis" symposium.
COMMUNICATION, INNOVATION & SOCIETY (COURSE CODE 201600221)
In this course, both broader aspects of the science-society relationship and what those mean for communication and the changing roles of researchers in and with society are considered while also responsible conduct – i.e. academic integrity – when doing research is considered.
Assessment
Each of the three courses is assessed separately, and all must be completed with a passing grade in order to successfully complete the programme. The courses are assessed through attendance, participation, and assignments, including the written research article.
