Method Project
This course is a mandatory part of Master's Programme in Global Media Studies. Only students admitted to the programme can take this course and are registered by the Department.
Method Project builds upon the student's experience of method application from previous methodology courses. This means that tuition and exercises are partially individualised, with varying focus on quantitative or qualitative methods. The course includes method exercises in the form of limited pilot studies based on research questions formulated by the students, with combinations of methods in focus. The purpose of the course is to give students applied skills within at least two methods relevant to Media and Communication research.
