Thesis prizes for FASoS students
Every year, the best theses by our students are rewarded during the Dies Natalis celebration. The award is given to students who completed their bachelor's or master's degree with a thesis that was labelled excellent by their faculty. They receive five hundred euros, a certificate and a small gift as a token of appreciation from our Rector Magnificus.
In January 2023 several FASoS students received an award:
- Anne-Sophie Oppor (BA Digital Society) for her thesis Meaningful Human control in Lethal Autonomous Weapon Systems Ethical Challenges for International Humanitarian Law

- Stefani Konstantinesku (BA Arts and Culture) for her thesis We Are All Born Naked and the Rest is Drag” Resistance Conceptualized Through Drag Performance: From the 1960s to the Present Day
Two master's students, Alexandra Werdich (MA Globalisation and Development Studies) and Merlin Tieleman (MA European Studies on Society, Science and Technology) won the master's thesis award. Their research is explained in a video.
