Learning outcomes
|
The aim of the seminar is to familiarise students with common, standard and internationally recognised methodological approaches to conducting their own specialist and scientific research. The course provides a theoretical and practical framework for the design and completion of a Master's thesis (MT), with the development of its concept or official brief being the main objective of the course.
Upon successful completion of the seminar, the student: - Is familiar with the basic methodological approaches to research in the social sciences and humanities. - Understands the formal, legislative, ethical and methodological requirements for the preparation of a Master's thesis. - Select and apply appropriate research methodology to address a specific professional problem in the field of editorial, publishing or media practice. - Formulates research questions, hypotheses, research objectives and principles for the preparation of a Master's thesis. - Demonstrates the ability to carry out independent academic work, think critically and work correctly with secondary literature and primary sources without the risk of plagiarism.
