Political Science C

About the course

The course contains three sub-parts.

The first part is a methods course introducing various research methods used in political science. Here, some basic methodological concepts will be examined and the different stages of the research process will be discussed. Qualitative as well as quantitative methods of analysis will be introduced during the course. Special attention will be given to quantitative methods.

The next part means a choice between a number of specialisation courses, where some will be offered during the Autumn semester and some during the Spring semester.

The third and final part consists of doing an independent and specific project chosen by yourself and elaborated in consultation with an advisor. The work is to be presented at a final seminar in the form of a written essay.
