The method project course is based on the students' experiences of method applications from the course Methodology II. This means that teaching and exercises are partly individualized with a varying focus on quantitative and qualitative methods. The course provides skills in research design with a focus on how different methods, theories and empirical materials can be combined. The students carry out pilot studies based on a coherent research design they have formulated themselves.
