Students deepen their skills of empirical social research methods and become familiar with the theoretic-methodological background commitments of different research organisations. Students select advanced studies of research methods primarily to support their Master's thesis, but also to strengthen their general knowledge of different methods.
Teaching methods
Literature (exam or essay), separate courses (e.g. S2b Advanced Studies on Quantitative Methods) or online studies. Students can get a literature list which is applicable to different research orientations from a research method lecturer or from their Master's thesis instructor. Performances must be negotiated beforehand with the thesis instructor.
