Some student quotes of our extended master
‘What I particularly liked about my
traineeship was learning from the people
who have so much knowledge and
experience already. I always wondered
where sociologist would end up working
after their studies, but I finally found the
answer’
~Iris Bakker, 2014, Movisie
When looking back, I think it would fit
me more if I would have been
working at a research institute that
does commissioned work.
~Jolien Greven, 2014, Yes! Project
Utrecht University
I can conclude that this past year
has been very instructive to me.
I’ve learned about my
weaknesses but also about my
strengths and abilities both as an
individual and professional…….I
am thankful for this experience
and …I would recommend it to
every graduating student’
~Jessica Villamil, 2013,
