The Seminar for the Cultural Studies-programme runs through the whole first year of the programme, 5 ECTS /period. During the first year of studies the student will work for approximately 20 ECTS of the 40 ECTS total.

The emphasis of the work lies in the searching and deciding of the research topic, finding relevant material and selecting case studies or examples. After the seminar year the student will be able to write his/her thesis independently.
The group is divided into two subgroups, which will occasionally come together to work as a bigger seminar.
Thesis seminar is only available for students in the Master's Degree Programme in Cultural Studies.
