This is a yearlong seminar during which time the students will start from general ideas about their dissertation topic to the development of a full MA thesis. The seminars will be structured in the following way: Phase One: Each student will produce an initial draft note, which will include the proposed primary and secondary research questions, theoretical framework, the methodological framework and methods, the research design and the table of contents. These initial notes will be discussed with the course lecturers and participants, resulting in an updated full draft note.
Phase Two: This phase will consist of a series of assignments and discussions dealing with: how to write an MA thesis - core components; putting methodology in practice; putting theory in practice; doing the literature review; and research ethics. Phase Three: In this phase, the updated full draft note will be revisited and revised, on the basis of the lectures (and ongoing discussions). This phase will result in the final MA thesis proposal outlining all core elements of the MA thesis. Phase Four: The aim of the fourth phase is to support students in writing their MA thesis by providing peer feed-back, in-class discussions and guidance from the course lecturer.
