Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

This course aims at preparing and supporting students in working on their master projects in the MEd programme. We will discuss practical questions surrounding the organisation and design of an MEd project, as well as relevant research methods. Specific focus will be given to the need for a coherent, theoretically well-founded design, which uses appropriate methods to answer research questions. Students can be at various stages of their thesis project, ranging from developing their ideas to collecting data and writing their theses.
