Talent Development and Creativity
Master
How can we develop the best athletes? How can teachers nurture pupils' talent and creativity in education and music? And how can we improve the selection of talented and creative employees, students, and athletes?
In any achievement domain, there is an increasing focus on the selection, development and promotion of talent and creativity. In this unique, internationally-oriented Master's programme you will develop the expertise to select, develop, and nurture talent and creativity in individuals and organizations across achievement domains.
You will learn about the (psychological) factors that explain talent and creativity, and directly put this knowledge into practice. You will learn coaching skills to enhance people’s personal and professional potential. Furthermore, you will get in touch with organizations in the field that aim to improve the selection and development of talent and creativity.
We have a large network, which you can benefit from. We collaborate with different sports clubs and associations, the Ministry of Defense, (inter)national companies, as well as education and arts institutions. We can therefore offer a variety of internship places and master thesis opportunities. Moreover, the close connection of our program with the work field contributes to your employability.
