Course PDA184 Master Thesis in Education
Your IMER Master’s thesis is a carefully argued scholarly text that presents an original argument that is carefully documented from clearly identified primary or secondary sources. Your thesis will be based on independent work within the field of education research; during your research and the writing of your thesis you will be supervised by your appointed supervisor. The course entails just three formal course moments you are expected to attend: a course introduction, a mid-way meeting, and the final exam.
