 Welcome! My name is Ilya van Beest. I'm the academic director of our program. Thank you for watching. During this time I will explain you something about our program and the requirements for participating. The Social Psychology Master is a one-year program. We cater for about 70 students and these 70 students are from the Netherlands, from Germany, from Greece, from many countries. I think we also have some people from Indonesia, we have some people from Romania and so we have a vibrant I think rather international community. The language of our program is English, all the courses are taught in English, all the exams are in English and the writing of your thesis will be in English. We offer an English program. In the economic psychology track we focus a little bit more on a specific kind of human behavior and that is consumer behavior or economic behavior, the behavior that is associated with money. This is the track where we teach you something about marketing and we teach you something about economics in general and may be relevant to know that it is a kind of like unique track in the Netherlands because we have the ability to work together here with the economic department across the whole here. The work and organizational track focus also on a specific type of human behavior. That focuses on work behavior. So what are the things that happen at work? Important at the work is of course that you become, that you remain healthy. Also important is how do you associate or differentiate yourself with coworkers. For example, who is your boss? What is leadership? How do you work in teams? All these type of topics are things that will be considered in this specific track. In addition to these specific routes there are also some general aspects of our master. All of you regardless of the track will join in the same classroom when you have the individual research proposal. This is one of the core courses in our curriculum. It's in the first half year and during that half year you will be assigned an advisor and this advisor will help you in writing your thesis. You will need to come up with a topic or a topic that is dear to you and then your advisor will help you finalize that in a research proposal that then can be executed. It's important to realize that the research needs to be quantitative. That is you have to complete the entire empirical cycle. You will need to collect data. You will need to do an SPSS analysis. You will need to write this up and that will be completed in a thesis that has the form of an APA journal article. Your thesis advisor will also help you find an internship. That is you will need to find the internship and the advisor will tell you whether it's okay or appropriate. If you're unable to find an internship we do offer the opportunity that you can do an in-depth course. Of course most of our students will do the internship because it will help them in their pursuing a vocational career.
