38 Annex 3 to article 1.2, second paragraph, of the Education and Examination Regulations 2014 for the Innovation Management and Operations Management & Logistics Master s Degree Program TUTORSHIP The Master Thesis Project is the final project in the MSc program. Students prepare themselves for this project in the first three semesters of the program. During the first semester, students identify a research area in which they are interested. During the second and third semester, students develop a thesis topic by taking elective courses and special 'Thesis Preparation' courses (1ML05, 1MR05). During this period students are supervised by a thesis mentor, who also guides the students in their Master Thesis Project. The thesis mentor is responsible for: assisting students in developing a thesis topic assisting students in selecting their elective courses approving students research proposals, which must be completed before they start their graduation projects approving restricted elective courses. Detailed information on the procedures can be found in the menu items 'The process towards a Master Thesis' and 'Assignment student to mentor' in the Thesis Manual (annex Examinations Regulations).

39 Annex 4 to article 1.2, third paragraph, of the Education and Examination Regulations 2014 for the IE&IS Master s Degree Program A. DUAL DEGREE OPPORTUNITIES WITH UNIVERSITIES ABROAD All students who have obtained their undergraduate degree in the Netherlands are offered the opportunity to do a semester abroad. During the international term, they should work on their Preparation Master Thesis and take elective courses. Due to the required close link between a subset of the elective courses and the Master Thesis, it is advisable that the Mentor is closely involved with the selection of the foreign university involved. Upon approval by the Mentor, the student can replace 20 SP electives and the Master Thesis Preparation, for a research internship abroad, provided this is closely linked to the Master Thesis content. A limited number of IM/OML students is eligible for a dual degree program; students will then, in addition to their semester abroad, be an additional semester abroad, leading to a total nominal program duration of five semesters. After completion of their thesis and the requirements of the double degree, the students will receive diplomas from the two institutions concerned. B. DUAL DEGREE INNOVATION MANAGEMENT AND INNOVATION SCIENCES The MSc programs Innovation Management (IM) and Innovation Sciences (IS) are independent, interdisciplinary master programs with an emphasis on Marketing, New Product Development and Innovation Management (IM) and Sustainability, Knowledge Economy and Society, and Technology & Globalization (IS) respectively. For students with great interest for both MSc programs there is the option to combine these programs and aim for a double degree. It requires an additional effort as is specified below; also other rules to honor are specified below. The requirements to respect and meet are: Guideline under Article 9.5 of the Higher Education and Scientific Research Act (WHW) relating to internal double degrees at TU/e Internal double degrees means: the situation in which a student through an extra workload of a maximum of 60 ECTS tries to gain the degrees and corresponding certificates for multiple related and partly overlapping educational programs at TU/e. Cases in which the extra workload by the student exceeds 60 ECTS do not fall under internal double degrees and are therefore outside the scope of this guideline. To qualify for internal double degrees, the student must successfully complete courses totaling at least 30 ECTS over the regular study workload of an educational program to meet the required final achievement level of both programs. To gain two Master s degrees as part of an internal double degree, a total study workload of a minimum of 150 ECTS and a maximum of 180 ECTS is therefore required. EER 2014, Annex 4 - Dual degrees

43 Annex 5 to article 1.2, third paragraph, of the Education and Examination Regulations 2014 for the Operations Management & Logistics and Innovation Management Master s Degree Program MSC HONORS PROGRAM 1. Introduction The Master programs Innovation Management (IM) and Operations Management & Logistics (OML) offer a special honors program for excellent students. The MSc Honors Program contains the following tracks. MSc Honors Track in Design (HiD) MSc Honors Track in Research (HiR) The MSc Honors Program is an additional program to the Master program (20 ects extra) and starts in the second semester of the master program. The purpose of the program is multifold: to provide possibilities to excellent students to follow an extensive and even more challenging master program; to improve the relation between the MSc and the PDEng program by means of the MSc Honors Track in Design, and the MSc and PhD program by means of the MSc Honors Track in Research; to motivate more students in following a career in research or design. Students that have successfully followed the design track of the MSc Honors Program will be admitted to the PDEng LMS program (not guaranteed). Students that have successfully followed the research track of the MSc Honors Program can be admitted to the PhD program (not guaranteed). 2. Admittance From the second semester of the master program, the MSc Honors Program will start. The Admission Board (the PDEng/PhD mentor and the Director LMS/Graduate Program IE) assesses the applications for the MSc Honors program. 1 (Minimal) start qualifications MSc Honors program: a. student is strongly motivated and b. student achieves excellent results: - excellent G.P.A of bachelor s degree (see below); - excellent communicative capacities; - excellent research or design capacities; - excellent quality BSc Project These conditions (assessed by the Admission Board) are considered as minimum conditions to be able to keep up with the Honors program. To assess these conditions, students: - make a Letter of Motivation - give a Curriculum Vitae; - will be interviewed; - (possible) write a research proposal (with regard to the MSc Honors Track in Research) After the first year of the Honors Program, the Admission Board will decide if an Honor student can or cannot continue the Honors Program. 1 The Admission Board also assesses the applications of BSc students for the Honors program that are still engaged in their BSc studies. Students that like to attend parts of the Honors Program and meet the criteria for admittance can ask permission of the program managers of IML or OML. EER 2014, Annex 5 - MSc Honors Program IM and OML

44 3. Regulations MSc Honor Program The MSc Honors Program is an addition to the Master program OML or IM (20 ects extra). This means that the program objectives for the MSc Honors Program and the MSc program are equal. The Honors Program provides excellent students extra possibilities. Participating students conclude a contract with the program management of the MSc program in order to attend the Honors Program. In this contract, the following issues, among others, are agreed: Content of the program Supervision Assessment Duration of the program 3.1 Content of the MSc Honors Program MSc Honors Track in Research The MSc Honors Track in Research consists of the following units: Two mini-research projects (each 5 ects) to explore two different research fields, in the 1 st year; PhD courses, in the 2 nd year (10 ects in total) of the master, as part of the electives. Students can select PhD courses that are offered to the regular PhD students, including courses offered by LNMB, SIKS, KLI, EIASM; Master thesis project: o Is preceded by the writing of a PhD research proposal (instead of literature study and formulation thesis assignment) of 15 ects; o Proposal can be used to compete for grants (at e.g. NWO); o Master thesis is on first part of the PhD research proposal; Additional PhD courses can be followed in 2nd year of master, as part of the electives On the website you will find a description of the PhD Program and courses. MSc Honors Track in Design The MSc Honors Track in Design consists of 20 ects of core courses of the LMS program, or design assignments, in which knowledge from master courses is used for solving real-life problems in industry. Design assignments include company visits, company presentations and grading based on value for company, innovativeness. On the website you will find a description of the PDEng Program and courses. Students that successfully undertake the Honors Program are exempted for specific parts of the PhD program (as Honors student Research Track) or PDEng program (as Honors student Design Track). The Honors student of the Design Track can do the PDEng program after the Honors program in 16 months instead of 20 months. Their PDEng course program will contain a maximum of 30 ects of core courses and design assignments. 3.2 Supervision The thesis mentor of the MSc programs will guide the Honors students as a Design or Research mentor and will have a significant role in the development of the Honors student. The Design/Research mentor will: assist in the admittance of Honors students; specify, supervise and approve the Honors student s master program and Design Track Program/Research Track Program; coach the student in his Design Assignments or PhD research proposal and the mini-research projects; EER 2014, Annex 5 - MSc Honors Program IM and OML

45 interview the Honors student after one semester following the start of the Honors Program. In this interview student and mentor discuss the study progress of the student and consider the continuation of the Honors program. 3.3 Assessment Regulations regarding the start and assessment of the Honors Program: before starting the Honors Program a student has to enroll in the MSc program; the Honors Program certificate is awarded at the presentation of the MSc diplomas. After the second semester the Honors students are evaluated. In case of unsatisfactory results, students can be required to stop with the Honors Program. At least, the program the student followed will not be official recognized as an Honors Program. Students that stop (any reason at all) with the program are allowed to include the achieved results in their MSc program to the extent that the followed courses fit into the end qualifications of the regular MSc program. The credit points that not match with the regular MSc program are stated expressly on the diploma supplement ( Extra ). 3.4 Duration of the program An Honors Program should be attractive for student. This seems to contradict the strict demand that students have to pass their MSc program within two years. Therefore it is of great importance that the student and mentor discuss and appoint a timetable for the duration of the Honors program. EER 2014, Annex 5 - MSc Honors Program IM and OML
