The MA program offers the possibility of a Research (Thesis) Track. All students are automatically accepted for the non-research track. At the end of the first semester  students can apply to move to the thesis track. Students accepted to this track are exempt from writing a seminar paper but need to enroll for the 'Personal Supervision' course (4 credits) in the second year of their studies. The full Thesis Track protocol can be found here. A Step-by Step guide to registering for the thesis track can be found here.
