This course is designed for incoming master´s degree students participating in international mobility programmes at the Faculty of Social and Economic Studies. The main aim of the course is to support students in the systematic development of their master´s thesis during their study stay at the faculty. The course focuses on individual work related to the student´s master´s thesis. The emphasis is placed on the application of appropriate research methods, the development of a clear thesis structure, and steady progress in analysis and writing. A key component of the course is regular individual consultations with an assigned academic supervisor from the faculty. These consultations provide guidance, feedback, and support to ensure continuous progress in the preparation of the master´s thesis.
Upon successful completion of the course, the student will be able to: - independently work on a master?s thesis at an appropriate academic level, - apply relevant research methods and approaches in the preparation of the thesis, - reflect on feedback provided by the supervisor and incorporate it into the thesis, - demonstrate measurable progress in the development of the master?s thesis. |
