You can share your knowledge and impact society in immediate ways with a community-based research project. You can learn the principles of community-based research and develop your own plan for a research project in the bachelor course (TC3V19001, block 3) , and implement that plan in a research internship or thesis project in Utrecht or its surroundings.

The project Community-Based Research for the Humanities helps students and lecturers join forces with civic partners from the (local) community to connect the teaching and learning of research skills to real-world issues. In the course, you learn to apply your personal academic experience and knowledge to meet needs and challenges in the wider world. Discover how to translate your knowledge, skills and values into research that is meaningful for you and for stakeholders who can benefit from the insights offered by the study of language, media, ethics, culture, identity or history.

Getting the opportunity to do CBR opens a whole new world outside of the gates of the university and gets you into the world that surrounds it.

I was free to mould the research project the way I deemed best, and once a week my partner and I would discuss the progress. I could make adjustments right away, a key aspect to staying on the same page and managing expectations from either side.
