Individual Elective

Full course description

Students work on an assignment (structured literature review, research project) under the supervision of a member of the scientific staff of Maastricht University, resulting in a written product (e.g. literature review, research report). Students take the initiative to locate and arrange a FPN supervisor for the elective. The elective topic, content and format will be determined by mutual agreement between student and supervisor. The assignment should be different/clearly separate from the actions that will be taken in the research internship and the written final product should be a separate product from the master thesis. Students are expected to devote 168 hours to the Individual elective. Students aiming to follow an individual elective should hand in an individual elective proposal, signed by the supervisor, to the coordinator of the individual elective for approval.
