Students supervised from either the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (VUA) or Amsterdam University College (AUC). Where, AUC is a joint initiative of the Universiteit van Amsterdam, UVA, and the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. Note: *Master students produce a MSc report in their first year and a thesis in their second year. **Capstone is the name given by some University or University Colleges, for all intents and purposes it is equivalent to a BSc thesis
