Description

This Masters-level seminar course is designed to introduce students to high-level academic research and writing across the programs of PR & Advertising and Journalism & Communication. It will develop research and analytical skills required to support the preparation and completion of a major piece of independent research.

It will introduce students to core issues in and approaches to research which will help them consolidate and extend their understanding of their chosen discipline and of the place of their research within it. The course is organised around a structured seminar series, beginning with a consideration of the nature of disciplinary research in the Humanities and moving on to consider the requirements of an extended piece of research, and to developing a research plan and project and/or project timetable.
