Study projects

Study projects integrate theoretical and pratical working methods and thus offer great opportunities for students to gather experiences. The participants can road-test the learned skills and abilities in empirical research to build their own conceptions. Equally important is the selection of appropriate measuring and survey methods and their proper realisation.

Successful accomplishment requires:

  • definition of scientific issues and research questions
  • development of a work schedule
  • consideration of different methods and rationale of the selected approach
  • empirical research
  • critical reflection of the achieved results
  • presentation of the results in a project report
