Extended Master's Program Sociology: Politics, Policy and Society in Comparative Perspective
Sociology Master's students can apply for the Extended Master's Program, which adds a junior internship of 30 ECTS (half a year) to the regular Master's program. Through a junior internship at a partner organization, the Extended Master's Program provides relevant working experience and learning opportunities to enhance your professional and academic skills.
Program structure and content
You have the opportunity to extend your Master's program with half a year, in which you do a junior internship (30 ECTS) in Dutch or English. The internship can exclusively be done in the Netherlands. During the internship, you will dedicate half your time to existing (research) projects, and half your time to doing your own research and writing your Master's thesis (preferably connected to your internship). After completing the internship, you will receive a professional certificate, in addition to your MSc.
Application and admission
You can only apply for the Extended Master's program once you have started the Master's program in Sociology: Politics, Policy and Society in Comparative Perspective.
- At the start of the Master’s program in Sociology: Politics, Policy and Society in Comparative Perspective, you can attend the information meeting organized for students who are interested in the Extended Master's program. In this meeting, you will be informed on the application procedure, application deadline, possible partner organizations, and the structure of the program and internship.
