Semester 4: Thesis (cohort 2025)

On these pages we publish information relevant for the Thesis phase (the 4th Semester) of the Cartography MSc.
To do in the coming time [complete timeline here]:
  • Cohort 2024 has almost finished, the graduation ceremony is near. Now it's up to Cohort 2025...!
     
  • Browse the list of current Thesis Topics [LINK]. The list is expected to be fully up-to-date by 1 December...! The deadline for thesis topic choice is 1 January 2027.
    The topics on the list are first proposals and ideas. The staff proposing these ideas considered them interesting, relevant and do-able. If you want more information about any of them, contact the staff members mentioned. You can already start thinking how to mould them into a research you can call your own.
  • You are very welcome to propose your own cartographic topic! Talk with us, we’ll help determine if a topic is viable, and who could supervise it [more details here]...
  • If you feel you need help, have questions or need someone to bounce your ideas off, contact the thesis coordinator for an (online) consultation.
  • You have until January 1 to determine a first and a second (and optionally a third) topic of choice.
    BTW: 'claiming' one now does not make it automatically yours, so no hurry, take your time thinking, and make an informed choice.
    Use this form to list your preferences for topics.
