This module will introduce you to research design and political analysis. You will engage with a range of theories and approaches to the study of Politics and International Relations. It will challenge you to reflect on the assumptions that underpin various methods, which shape the questions that can be asked and answered. As experts in their field, staff will provide an introduction to a particular approach and method. Each staff member will also guide you through an application of their approach/method in the context of a particular research project. Through the module you will be taught how to generate your own research questions, design and plan an independent research project, and conduct a literature review.
