Below, you will find an overview of courses from the current academic year of this Master's. This overview is meant to give you an idea of what to expect. The course offer may change in the coming academic year.

 

Courses

In periods 1 and 2, you will take 4 compulsory subjects, including the Practical course in which you will work in a small group to address a challenge in your own domain, depending on your track. You will also start the Academic Professional module, which runs throughout the year. This module will teach you skills geared towards continuous professional development. Among other things, you will join other students to organise meetings and debates with the professional field and you will work on developing your identity and skills as an academic professional. This will enable you to continue playing a professional role in the changing society and labour market. 

Internship and Master’s thesis

In period 2 you will already start preparing for your internship, which will take place during periods 3 and 4. The Master's Youth, Education & Society facilitates internship positions both in the Netherlands and abroad. Students ideally develop their thesis in close collaboration with internship organizations. We have a wide network with partners both in the Netherlands and abroad especially with partners who work in so called Developing Countries, but students are invited to bring in their own network partners. It is possible to carry out your internship and data collection for your thesis abroad from February until May. Students may bring in internship organisations in and outside of the Netherlands. In all cases the internships need to be approved by the programme. Questions? Please mail master.yes@uu.nl.

If you are interested in doing the Master’s in Youth, Education and Society and want to learn more about the internship options, send an email to master.yes@uu.nl or register for one of our Internship Information Meetings.

Showcase yourself through your track

The track you have chosen will be defined by your internship/thesis, the content of the Academic Professional module and the content of assignments in the core subjects, and your Practical course.
