Course content
This subject allows the candidate to specialise in a self-chosen topic that is relevant to the counselling discipline. This entails practice in autonomous research work through activities such as outlining and delineating of research interest, working with the scientific genre and presentation, as well as systematic search for relevant literature. The candidate's exploration of research interest and a self-chosen topic can be an opportunity to support the work on the master's thesis.
