In the Bachelor's seminar, you will develop a research question related to a specific topic of interest and present it in the seminar. These topics will be discussed with the other students and with the lecturer both in class and individually. In addition to the ongoing work on the bachelor thesis, the seminar also includes an overview of scientific methods that can be applied to properly address different research questions.
The research question that you aim to address in the bachelor thesis must be related to the following “core subjects”: "Political System of Austria and the EU" ("Politisches System Österreichs und die EU").
Please note: before registering, you should have a look at the approaches and the thematic priorities of the different lecturers for the Bachelor's seminar.
