Course description

This is the compulsory unit for the School's Honours students, which provides them with research methods appropriate to Political Science and International Relations, with some skills based information regarding how to write a Literature Review and related matters, and intellectual framing for their Honours theses. Completion of this course involves preparatory work that feeds into their later theses. This course is essential for all Honours students. We are open to the enrolment in this course of Honours students in other Schools in the Faculty who would benefit from doing this course.
