Education of Cultural Geography

The thesis is a compulsory element of your MSc study programme and the culmination of your studies. This page provides information for students who are considering writing a MSc thesis under the supervision of GEO group.

Writing a MSc thesis allows you to become an expert in a specific area that is closely linked to your personal interest and future career. Writing a thesis is an individual process whereby a student takes a full responsibility for its outcome, being assisted and guided by an academic supervisor.

An internship is an essential part of every master programme at Wageningen University & Research. During the internship, you put your acquired knowledge and skills into practice while gaining relevant work experience at an academic level.

An internship supervised by GEO allows you to participate in an organisation that is professionally situated in the domain of tourism and leisure and/or works on issues relevant to cultural geography. The aim of the internship is to apply knowledge and perform skills in a potential future work field.
