Doing a Research Project while studying at Viaa

Would you like to carry out a research project within the field of your interest under the supervision of a Viaa lecturer and gain practical research experience at the same time? During the Research Project course at Viaa, you do research work, which includes a literature study and fieldwork. At the end of the practical research work, you will write a research report. Through a creative presentation, you will present your research findings to the supervisor and other students who participated in the Research Project course. You can choose your research topic within the following domains: health care, social work, primary education, theology, business, marketing or psychology, or even a combination of domains. It’s possible to follow this course while being in the Netherlands or online from your home country.

Planning & prerequisites

The Research Project course is a second-year course. It is recommended to have followed a basic introduction to research methodologies. This course will be offered during the spring semester of each academic year.

What you will learn
