Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

The aim of this seminar (over two terms) 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 person but we will aim to accommodate digital / hybrid formats.

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 presentations, group discussions and written work, to maximise feedback during the development of ideas and practical stages of the research.

This seminar will be held in English.

Assessment and permitted materials

The assessment consists of different elements:
1) Presentation of research ideas with slides (in Term 1, for those who start the Masterseminar)
2) Written research proposal (in Term 1, for those who start the Masterseminar)
3) Presentation of results with slides (in Term 2, for those who are more advanced)
4) Draft research report / MSc Thesis, unmarked, for feedback (in Term 2, for those who are more advanced)
5) Attendance, max. 2 missed
