Political Science and Public Administration RM Thesis Lab

Course
2013-2014

Description

The Research Master Thesis Lab provides students with an opportunity to develop their master thesis proposal before they start collecting and analyzing data and writing their master thesis, or, if already at a more advanced state, to discuss preliminary results (see Political Science and Public Administration RM Thesis for detailed information about the thesis writing process). During the thesis lab, students meet regularly to present and discuss their research (proposals) and to receive feedback from their fellow students and the thesis lab instructor. The ultimate responsibility for guidance and approval of the thesis proposals, however, rests with the individual thesis supervisors. At the end of the third block, students defend their research proposals in a public meeting with their supervisors
