MSc Projects

Possibilities for a graduation project

Possibilities for graduation projects change so fast that in case you are interested, please contact Erwin Kessels, Adrie Mackus, Adriana Creatore or Bart Macco (see contact information). Listed below are some examples of current possibilities for traineeships/graduation projects.
