Bachelor's Thesis Research
In the last semester of the Maastricht Science Programme (MSP), students carry out a one-semester long piece of research as the final part of their scientific training in the Bachelor Thesis Research. Part of the assessment is creating a video where students have to explain their research to non-scientific public.
Students may study with a member of MSP staff, at other Maastricht University institute or at another institution within or outside the Netherlands. In their BTR research, students specialise in a scientific area of their choosing, and are expected to experience the entire scientific cycle, starting with a problem, formulating of a scientific question and hypotheses, experimentation and reporting.
