Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Contents
The seminar is an important step in guiding the preparation of an MA or PhD thesis in East Asian Economy and Society (EcoS). To make it as efficient and effective as possible for you, it should be attended in the third or fourth semester of the MA program, or at the beginning of the PhD program. Importantly, you must already have a topic for your thesis in mind.
The seminar leads you through the key components of the theoretical part of your thesis. Make sure to have watched + understood the related Youtube videos, available at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrjd90J0GnYYOW4QSiaeGew
The tasks to be completed during the seminar include: Presenting and defending your top-ic/title and research question; the relevance of your research question; the structure of your literature review; your literature review; your analytical framework. The seminar thus leads right into the preparation of the actual thesis.
