Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
The master’s course is for students who are at the end of their studies and are planning or already writing their master's thesis. The course accompanies the conception and development of students’ master’s theses, focusing on the development of the research design. It supports students in developing a research topic and research question(s), in the theoretical and methodological conception of the master thesis, and also offers a space to discuss the structure or chapters of the thesis. The course is based on the presentation and discussion of the students’ master’s thesis concepts and (planned) theses.By October 6th (before the first session of the course on October 10th), participants must upload a preliminary concept of the master’s thesis on Moodle. The concept should include a short overview of the research area and objective, the preliminary research question(s) and the planned theoretical and methodological approach. It should be 2 pages long.
