INTERDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH METHODS COURSES

Aims:

Advanced Interdisciplinary Research Methods courses aim to give students in-depth training in research methods/methodologies that they plan to use in their own research projects. Students doing Masters degrees by coursework and minor dissertation or Masters by thesis or PhD degrees would benefit from these courses.

Weighting:

A 5-level research methods module has a weighting of a half course.  Therefore, two would need to be completed to be the equivalent of a full course.

Departmental contributions

The following modules are offered by the Department as part of the Advanced Interdisciplinary Research Methods courses:

  • POL5030F/S Discourse and Ideology: Applied Analysis

  • POL5035S Data Analysis in Political Sciences

For other Research Methods courses offered in other departments, refer to the course listings in the faculty handbook.
