Course content

The course provides project planning and project development, focusing on designing a methodical approach for one's own master's project. It includes topics such as academic writing with an emphasis on the master's thesis, literature search, evaluating the quality of academic texts and research projects, as well as current research at the institute.

Learning outcome

The student has:

  • in-depth knowledge of planning and conducting scientific projects
  • advanced knowledge of the scientific genre and presentation
  • advanced knowledge of literature search and review
  • advanced knowledge of ethical guidelines for research
  • advanced knowledge of quality criteria in academic texts and research projects

The subject provides a basis for carrying out a separate master's degree project. One of the purposes of the work in the subject is that it should be possible to reuse it in the master's thesis.
