Thesis groups at the University of Amsterdam

We provide supervision for the practical thesis in small groups of 4 to 6 students. The supervision consists of 6 meetings of 3 hours each. The practical thesis supervision is overseen by Dr. Sytse Duiverman RA.

For whom?

You are eligible to participate in a thesis group once you have progressed to the sixth semester of the practical training programme. At the time of the defence, your 5th semester must have been completed.

The thesis groups are open to both alumni of the University of Amsterdam and alumni of other universities. To ensure diversity within the group, we place a maximum of 2 to 3 trainees from the same firm in one group.

Please note: The thesis groups described on this page are taught in English. Are you looking for thesis groups taught in Dutch? Please visit our Dutch webpage.

Two thesis groups will start in spring 2027. You can already register using the form below. 

Where?

The thesis group meetings take place at the Amsterdam Business School, Plantage Muidergracht 12, Amsterdam.
