Extended Master's Program Sociology: Politics, Policy and Society in a Comparative Perspective
Sociology Master's students can apply for the Extended Master's Program, which adds a junior traineeship of 30 ECTS (half a year) to the regular Master's program. Through a junior traineeship 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 traineeship (30 ECTS), in Dutch or English. The traineeship can exclusively be done in the Netherlands. During the traineeship 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 traineeship). After completing the traineeship, 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’ve started the Master's program in Sociology. If you are interested, you must contact your program coordinator for information (Christof van Mol: c.vanmol@tilburguniversity.edu).
- At the start of the Master’s program in Sociology, you can attend the information meeting organized for students who are interested in the Extended Master's Program Sociology. In this meeting you’ll be informed on the application procedure, application deadline, possible partner organizations, and the structure of the program and traineeship.
