Research Proposal
Full course description
In the second year of the Forensic Psychology Master's programme, students are expected to conduct a research internship.

The research must be empirical (either quantitative or qualitative) and will preferably include all phases of the empirical cycle. The Master’s Thesis will be written in the format of an empirical article, including, Abstract, Introduction, Method, Results and Discussion.
