Course goals

Content

This interdisciplinary module covers advanced academic skills at the Research Master level. The course is organized around topics related to research design and development specifically aimed at structuring an academic thesis. The class sessions serve as a workshop space where students can discuss work-in-progress and also offer feedback to one another. The course unfolds across blocks 1-2. During the first block, the course will focus on developing skills and practical academic knowledge, while during the second block, it will facilitate the development of scholarly literacy and academic writing. The seminar aims to offer a research environment in which students can reflect on their research topic at a meta-discursive level. In this respect, the course also serves as a space to articulate specific challenges students are facing in relation to the research process in general and to thesis preparation in specific.
