Introduction to Social Research

5 cr

Basic studies

During the course, students will acquaint themselves with questions related to the functioning of society, diversity, wellbeing and interpersonal relationships as well as the key concepts and perspectives of social research. The course examines the joint perspectives of the various disciplines included in the programme while studying the differences between the social research approach and its neighbouring disciplines. Through groupwork included in the course, students will get to know each other and the teachers in the programme, and they will produce a written group assignment, which will be presented in the last lecture.

PSP work will be integrated into the course.
