Annotation -
The seminar will introduce students to the design of academic research so that it speaks to the relevant literature, develops an interesting research question, and presents a persuasive argument.

Upon completing the course, students will acquire a basic understanding of the logic of research in the social sciences, with a particular focus on qualitative research. Students will understand the relevance of methodology for academic writing and the relationship between methodology and theory. Students will conclude the course by putting their knowledge into action to create their research project.

This course is a compulsory course for the Master's in Area Studies and Balkan, Eurasian and Central European Studies. Students from other programmes cannot register for the course due to limited capacity.

The course is open only to students of master's degree programmes.
