Description of the internship<br />
The second part of the year of the Research Master’s programme is devoted to<br />
arranging <strong>and</strong> conducting a research internship. As a result of the many international<br />
research contacts our faculty members have established, a substantial number of<br />
students will conduct their research internship abroad. Students finalize the Master’s<br />
programme by writing a thesis on their internship.<br />
The internship can be done at <strong>Maastricht</strong> University or at external research institutes.<br />
In all cases, your research proposal <strong>and</strong> Master’s thesis will be evaluated by two<br />
assessors. At least one assessor has to be a member of <strong>Maastricht</strong> University. The<br />
other assessor might be a researcher at, for example, the institute where your data are<br />
collected.<br />
A detailed guide on research internships <strong>and</strong> Master’s thesis can be found on<br />
Blackboard: EleUM.unimaas.nl/Students Research Master Faculty of <strong>Psychology</strong> <strong>and</strong><br />
<strong>Neuroscience</strong>.<br />
For possible internships abroad contact the research internship coordinator. For<br />
practical information about international research internships (e.g., scholarship, visa),<br />

pass/fail assessment) as well as the thesis (14 credits, graded assessment).<br />
