Overall content

The project should be based on an exemplary humanistic research question through which the project’s learning objectives can be satisfied. The project’s focus on method must be evident in the project report.

Teaching and working methods

As part of the project work, the student must participate in two seminars:

  • Problem Formulation Seminar
  • Mid-term Seminar

The main objective of these seminars is to support the academic quality of the project work and the associated learning processes. Another important goal is to help students develop their presentation skills and learn how to give and respond to constructive feedback.

Students are expected to actively participate in both seminars by engaging in critical discussions of their work and the work of other participants.
