Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The aim of this seminar is the successful completion of an empirical Master's thesis in Environmental Psychology or a related topic, e.g., Environment and Health. The seminar will take place in a digital or hybrid format.
The content of the seminar is closely linked to the thesis, consisting of initially exploring the relevant literature, then pitching research questions, methods and developing hypotheses. At later stages we will discuss data analysis and interpretation. The format will consist of group work, presentations, discussions and written work, to maximise feedback during the development of ideas and practical stages of the research.

Assessment and permitted materials

The assessment consists of three elements, two written papers and a presentation:
1) Research proposal;
2) Research report;
3) Presentation with discussion.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

A pass (genügend) is the minimum requirement for progression. Participation in the meetings is required.

Examination topics

Literature relevant to the Master's thesis.

Reading list
