Get experience working with a corporate partner as part of a student consulting team and apply your new skills and insights into a real-world business environment. 

This week provides a foundation in research methodology and strategies. You will be introduced to the principles of conducting effective research, exploring both qualitative and quantitative approaches. The importance of identifying a research problem, formulating research questions, and selecting appropriate methods will be emphasized. Key strategies, such as surveys, experiments, case studies, and ethnography, will be discussed, along with data collection techniques and ethical considerations. By the end of the week, you will understand the basics of designing research projects and selecting suitable strategies to investigate various topics.

While working on your Master thesis, you may seek the opportunity of a second internship and carry out your research with support from practitioners.

Alternatively, particularly those who intend to pursue an academic career, you may opt for working on a thesis topic in close coordination with a professor’s own research agenda.
