Master Communication Studies (CS) Master Thesis CS: 30 EC Research project Detailed information will be provided during the introduction lecture of the Research Topics course, but information is already available online at: https://www.utwente.nl/cw/afstudeerweb/master/ Master Communication Studies (CS) Master Thesis CS: internal or external research project External means collaboration with an organisation or institute, which may provide a research context, case study or research population. Examples: When, for example, researching consumer behaviour regarding the effects of manipulations in advertising material or the intention to use / adopt new (social) media applications in consumer environments, a research context can often be found without involving an external organisation. When, on the other hand, (for example) researching aspects of internal communication or new (social) media usage within an organisation or between employees of an organisation, the involvement of an external organisation becomes more obvious.
