The integrated course Research-oriented project work (SRITAP A) aims to deepen the theoretical principles, methods and techniques of research-oriented project management, which are required for the successful realisation of upcoming projects and theses. Scientific work and empirical research demand a well thought-out and structured way of working. Starting with the question ‘Why research?’, the course begins with an overview of key terms, research methods and techniques of research-orientated project management. The focus is always set on the practical creation of scientific research designs. These are fundamental, as they not only aim to explain how scientific investigations are carried out, but also support their step-by-step implementation. In this way, they create the framework for each project and sharpen its comprehensibility and reliability. With the emphasis on qualitative research approaches, the course deals in detail with questions relating to problem definition, hypothesis formation, definition of variables, positioning, identification of the research field, choice of method, survey section, generalisation, and theory formation.

The course takes place as a block seminar, enabling students to complete the module during the current semester by also attending the second part of the module, Spatial Research: Topics, Concepts and Practical Applications (SRITAP B). The courses build on one another but can also be taken independently. 

Registration by all participants is required via ISIS before 10 April.
