mpw Award
With the mpw Foundation we wish to foster the next academic generation in the field of Applied Psychology and to honour strong engagement. Our aim is:
- to reward outstanding work at the Bachelor’s degree level.
- to make a business internship with challenging content possible for Master’s students.
- to cultivate the network that links teaching, research and practice in the field of Applied Psychology.
To this end, in cooperation with the Department of Applied Psychology at Zurich University of Applied Sciences, the mpw Foundation grants the mpw Award. It consists of:
- a money prize of 1,000 CHF for the best Bachelor’s thesis of each academic year.
- the opportunity for the award winner to complete the compulsory internship of his/her subsequent Master’s programme at mpw.
Once the competition has been publicly posted and students apply for the award, the Department of Applied Psychology submits the best Bachelor’s theses in Industrial and Organisational Psychology and related fields of specialisation to the mpw Foundation. The Board of the mpw Foundation then evaluates the theses according to scientific quality, creativity of the question formulation, and relevance for the work at mpw relating to Industrial Psychology and Diagnostics.
