Overview

Honours and Masters level students currently undertaking communications, creative arts, humanities and social sciences require knowledge of a range of techniques for researching and writing. This course introduces students to the skills to be able to survey a field of literature, identify a research problem, decide on research objectives and select appropriate method/s to carry out the research. It will also assist students in developing an awareness of discipline-specific requirements, such as the need to ensure epistemological consistency between their aims, methodologies, data collection and analysis of results in a manner appropriate to their discipline areas.

Students will explore the practical skills and methodological choices necessary and available to researchers in communications, creative arts, humanities and social sciences.
