| Course Content | |||||||||
The 1st Year Project addresses the thematic framework for Year 1, comparative cultural and societal analysis. Project groups select a problem they wish to study and define a research question, which will serve as a guideline for the project. Theoretical, empirical and methodological material from courses such as Globalisation Studies, Area Studies, British & American Studies and Microeconomics should form the mainstay of the project, but can be supplemented with additional material. The project must contain multidisciplinary and comparative elements. | |||||||||
