| Course content and structure |
|
The 1st Year Project addresses the thematic framework
for Year 1, cultural and societal analysis.
Project groups select a problem they wish to study and define a
research question, which will serve as a guideline for the project.
Theoretical, empirical and methodological material from courses
such as Globalisation Studies, Area Studies, British & American
Studies and Microeconomics should form the mainstay of the project,
but can be supplemented with additional material. The project must
contain multidisciplinary and comparative elements.
