Course Enrolment Limitations
The course is only offered to the students of the study fields the course is directly associated with.
Course objectives
The course aims to the developing of each student's B. A. project from the form of research proposal to the manuscript of the entire B. A. thesis.
Learning outcomes
At the end of the course, a student will be able to present and discuss their ongoing research. In consultations with their supervisor, a student will be able to compose the manuscript of B.A. thesis meeting the theoretical, methodological and style standards in their field but also ready to defend it.
Syllabus
  • The second B.A. seminar has two main outputs. The first output is an oral presentation of a selected thesis chapter at a joint mid-semester seminar. Both all the active students in the field and all their possible supervisors should be participating. This presentation is important to maintain the cross-disciplinary nature of the programme and the idea of the range of options for how research problems can be approached. At the same time, the seminar keeps the development of a student's B.A. thesis in the active collective discussion. The second output will then be the manuscript of the entire thesis, which should be finished during the exam period.
