## Field projects

During your studies you will work on inspiring research projects, both at home and abroad.

During your programme in year 1, you will carry out a quantitative research project together with several fellow students. You will conduct this research in the Netherlands, looking at a specific topic within tourism. Examples include media use, over-tourism and spending patterns.

In the second year, you will be challenged to look at how tourism developments can improve the quality of life in tourist destinations. This research is conducted in a foreign destination and has a distinct interdisciplinary and intercultural aspect.
