Bachelor's Final Project

In a condensed way the student performs a study that covers the whole empirical research cycle of developing a specific research question, using theory in order to answer the question and testing the theory by the collection of data. Knowledge from various disciplines is integrated and students practice in performing research on a technology related problem. This will be linked to the technical specializations in the BSc and the Master HTI: Robotics, Living and ICT. 
Students can collaborate in groups for literature search or the collection of data. However, they have to formulate a specific question to be answered by their Bachelor Thesis that is written individually.

Students are capable of performing the following activities under supervision: 

• formulate a research question fitted to the problem and relevant scholarly literature
• conduct a literature search 
• apply and modify relevant scientific theory in order to solve a technology related problem 
• make an adequate research design for empirical research 
• apply relevant scientific methods for empirical research 
• relate interpretation of data to theory and to design and/or policy recommendations 
• individually write a scientific report 
• reflect and think systematically

A student can only be admitted to this course if he/she has obtained one quartile before the actual start of the Bachelor End Project:

• At least 120 ects, of which:
• All first year courses, including the first year track course and 10 ects of elective courses
• And at least one of the following courses: 
  • 0HV50 (Behavioral Research Methods 2: Dealing with data),or
  • 0HV110 (Advanced research methods and research ethics).

Forms, like final assessment form, code of conduct and requesting an extension can be found and downloaded on the Canvas page.
