Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
The seminar focuses on various questions regarding the quantitative research design of a PhD thesis in the social sciences. We deal with the following questions: which elements should be included in a research proposal in the social sciences? How to find a ‘good’ (overarching) research question? How to embed the research question theoretically? Furthermore, we deal with measuring concepts in the social sciences. By doing so, PhD students should be able to find the best methodological approach to tackle their research question. The aim is to develop a first draft of a PhD research proposal. Students will have ample opportunities to present parts of their PhD research proposal.
