Research Assistant Programme
The Research Assistant Programme (RAP) offers talented and motivated students, who start in September, the opportunity to apply for a paid position of one day a week at the university. In this programme you apply for a specific project which you will, when selected, carry out parallel to your Research Master’s course. You will carry out the project under the supervision of prominent researchers within the faculty and you are invited to visit an international conference along your supervisor(s).

Publishing your own work
If you have an interesting topic that is good enough to be published somewhere, teachers are always more than willing to publish with you and help you every step of the way. Having publish during your studies is a big plus when applying for a PhD position. Every year at least four students of the research master publish their work somewhere.

Student/research-assistent
The university offers student assistant positions to a limited number of students. This paid position can have a duration up to a whole year and is usually for one day per week. The activities can be very divers: teaching and educational support or assisting in a study or other projects. A researcher will usually ask you for these positions. This makes them different from the RAP.
