Collect, analyse and present data

The module teaches you the basics of qualitative and quantitative empirical social research. This will enable you to collect, scientifically analyse and present data independently. These skills will enable you to critically interpret statements that circulate in the media and in everyday academic appointments.
In the module, you will create a project that you develop from specific academic appointments. The previously taught qualitative or quantitative research methods will be applied. You can also use your new know-how for other projects or your final thesis.
