Method Project

Mandatory course in Master´s Programme of Global Media Studies and Master's programme in Journalism Studies. Only students within the program can register to this course.

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.
