It focuses on research design, choice of topics and formulation of research questions. Students will also get advice on ethical clearance and how to be prepared to undertake good empirical research. These seminars are obligatory and considered key aspects of developing the ideas for the masters thesis and preparing for fieldwork. All students will be given individual supervision amounting to a total of 60 hours. Students will get a supervisor assigned during the second semester. Following fieldwork (in the 3 semester and 4 semester) the masters thesis seminars focus on how to work with theory and data.
