Thesis Seminar II

Course Name	Thesis Seminar II
Course Code	BUS699
Description	The aim of the master’s thesis is to demonstrate that the student can successfully carry out an original research project from formulation of a thesis through research and analysis, to written and oral presentation. Students shall demonstrate an ability to apply theoretical concepts to specific and practical problems. It is expected that a master’s thesis will present new findings, conclusions, and/or innovative approaches in the chosen field. Students should demonstrate deep knowledge of the literature and other sources relevant to the topic. Moreover, students need to formulate and apply a methodological analysis, to interpret the research problem within its broader context and from a comparative perspective, and to formulate a cohesive argument and well supported conclusions. The master’s thesis requires a large amount of independent work, supported by regular guidance from the advisor.
Learning Outcomes	Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to: – Demonstrate in-depth knowledge and understanding of a relevant area covered by MABLIM degree scheme (theoretical, conceptual and/or practical); – Show an ability to select and justify appropriate research methods for a given subject of study; – Apply knowledge and skills acquired throughout the program; – Provide evidence of familiarity with the current academic and practitioner debates within the chosen research topic; – Demonstrate the development of coherent and sustained arguments leading to logical conclusions or recommendations; – Demonstrate an ability to critically analyse and evaluate data independently and engage in debates relevant to the area of study.
