Education of Cultural Geography

The BSc Tourism Thesis is an individual project in which various academic research skills are applied to a specific field, resulting in a paper ('thesis report') and presentation, after which the BSc Tourism study program is completed.

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. We offer thesis topics that are linked to one, or more, of our research clusters Landscapes, Mobilities & Place-making, Earth & Environment. An overview of our thesis topic offer can be found in our MSc Thesis Brochure.

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. Please refer to the flowchart and/or the course guide to help you get started.

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. Please refer to the course guide to help you get started.

The Cultural Geography Group offers courses to be attended by regular students, graduates, post-graduates and professionals who have an interest in the relevant issues. Please visit the study handbook for more information about our courses.
