Preparation for the BA DS Thesis

Full course description

During the first months of year 3, you will choose between pursuing study in another country or conducting an internship or following a minor in Maastricht. This course helps you to stay in contact with other BA Digital Society students and staff, and to prepare for the thesis which has to be completed in the final months of year 3. The purpose of this course is to help you develop your skills in coming up with research ideas, one of which may form the basis of the thesis. Ideas for research may come from the internship, minor, study abroad or from news stories relating to digital technologies. You are expected to prepare and share three research ideas, in different digital forms, such as a podcast, video or blog post. Other students and tutors will provide feedback, and by the end of the course you will prepare three abstracts of your research ideas.
