EDU4050 – Research Proposal Seminar
Course content
At the end of the second semester a research proposal seminar will be conducted. The topic for the thesis will be discussed. Students will join the seminar relating to their specialisation within CIE. (A: Education and Development, or B: Educational Policies and Planning.) In preparation for the thesis seminar students will be taught how to write a thesis proposal and will be required to write a synopsis of about 6 - 7 pages on their intended thesis research. In the seminar the thesis proposals are discussed, commented upon and later re-submitted. The organizer of each specialisation will together with the administrative co-ordinator identify a tutor as relevant as possible for each student's thesis' topic.
(Due to technical reasons, credits for research proposal seminar will be awarded in third semester)
