Model master specialisation/electives packages
Check the model specialisation/electives packages offered by TPM below.
General information sessions and Q&A sessions for the model specialisation/electives packages are scheduled in April/May. Please keep an eye on Brightspace.
Shortly after the Q&A sessions you will receive an e-mail with a link to a web questionnaire. With this questionnaire you can opt for your first and second choice for a model master specialisation/electives package. Students intending to study abroad or who started in February have to fill out the questionnaire mentioned above as well, because this is necessary information for the organisation.
The moment the first result of one the modules is known and registered in Oriris, the model specialisation/electives package chosen will be visible in your SVO.
For February-starters and Study Abroad-students in most cases it is not possible to schedule a model master specialisation/electives packages.

After that, the approved form will be send to the student administration for registration of the modules chosen in your MSc programme.

A graduation project abroad is a very unique experience that every student will look back upon fondly. It is important that you start your preparations well in advance. It costs a huge amount of time to find a reliable, feasible and acceptable project. Talk to the graduation coordinator and make good use of any of his/her contacts. Make sure that the graduation coordinator is involved in every step. Communication is the key to success. It is also important to make sure, therefore, that you keep all the relevant people informed about what is happening. To get a first impression of doing a graduation project abroad, have a look at the Study Abroad pages on the TPM Student Portal. When making more concrete plans, contact the International officer Toke Hoek. She can lead you to more specific information, for example about opportunities for financial support.
