The aim of the course is to develop students' knowledge and research skills in the scholarly fields which they are interested in and within which they would like to write their master thesis. In order to achieve this, the course consists of several workshops focused on general academic skills as well as on particular scholarly topics that students choose. The fields that are generally popular among Euroculture students might include transcultural studies, gender and women studies, Middle Eastern politics (with emphasis on Turkey), sociology of migration, international relations and diplomacy, visual culture and propaganda, memory studies and many more.
