Research traineeship
You will participate in a research project led by a staff member or an external research project where a staff member serves as an advisor. Through this research traineeship, you will gain hands-on experience in research tasks: from drafting a research proposal and carrying out a literature review, to conducting data analysis and producing a final paper or report.
Elective courses at a national research school
You will participate in an elective course at the Netherlands Research School for Media Studies (RMeS) or another national research school in the field. The Netherlands Research School for Media Studies (RMeS) is a national network of academic experts in the field of media research, bringing together staff members and students from the Universities of Amsterdam, Groningen, Maastricht, Rotterdam and Utrecht. The School is committed to delivering excellent, state-of-the-art education to Research Master students and PhD researchers. At the same time, it provides opportunities to build and expand your network.
Conference participation
You will participate in an international conference, providing you with an opportunity to present your research for an audience beyond the classroom. You are able to discuss your research with conference participants while expanding your network.
Exchange
An exchange to one of our partner universities allows you to take courses tailored to your interests and experience different educational and research environments. Such international experience enriches you intellectually and strengthens your future career prospects.
Aside from all the academic and educational benefits, going on exchange is of course a great way to get to know new people, and to prove to yourself that you are capable of adapting to a completely new environment.”
