Learning outcomes
|
The aim of this course in general is to provide students with knowledge and skills which are essential for apprehending and delineating their own research in the fields of international or European law. Students will be led to understand the differences between the theory, method and methodology. They will be able to determine their own research from the perspective of theory (theories applied to it), to establish types of techniques suitable for their research and to define and develop relevant research questions. The course will also help students to choose theoretical perspectives which are corresponding to and advancing their critical thinking. Students will also be familiarized with the content of the doctoral research (on abstract level) and gain recommendations on how to choose appropriate steps (regarding research, projects or publication) to organize their study and research in the most efficient way. Classes will have form of interactive lectures (analogy to the Oxford tutorials with small group of students) based on the structure: reading preparation - lecture - problem identification - discussion.
To support students´ ability to determine their own research from the perspective of theory (theories applied to it), to establish types of techniques suitable for their research and to define and develop relevant research questions.
