Omschrijving	MRP provides students with a practical seminar learning environment in which students will be introduced to the practice of inquiry and research methods in International Relations. The module will introduce students to methodological debates within the social sciences, research design, specific methods and research operationalization. Students will have the opportunity to explore a variety of methodological approaches and practical applications. The seminars will proceed in brief introductory lectures, discussions of texts, peer-commentary, and group-based methods presentation. Students will be expected to carry out research projects and communicate their research progress and findings in a range of formats that include an abstract with research question, a research outline, a methods presentation and the final research. The in-class sessions are prepared with weekly assignments. MRP aims to give students a strong foundation in applied research methods and skills that are transferable across a wide range of research careers.
