Beschreibung
This module supports doctoral students by through offering hands-on guidance for the PhD process by the Programme Director, and introducing students to the methods of research required for completing a PhD through peerto-peer exchange. Participants receive an introduction to current work at the Liechtenstein School of Architecture, and guidance on how to conduct topics from fieldwork to literature review, archival research, scientific writing, and develop their broader career trajectory. To receive 5 ECTS credit points, students must participate in all module sessions, formulate a written seminar paper, and complete an oral presentation defending this work.
Ziele
The course aims to develop a range of skills that help PhD candidates to be more effective in their dissertation research, as well as to work on a broader range of transferable and widely applicable skills that will be useful in their future lives and careers, qualifying them as competent researchers beyond the assembly and execution of their dissertations. This module is required for PhD students at the Liechtenstein School of Architecture to complete during the first four semesters of their studies (within the Preparation Phase). It must be visited once for credit points and can be repeated as an elective pending approval of the PhD candidate’s supervisory team; however, all enrolled doctoral students are encouraged to participate in this yearly seminar regularly, in order to support and guide one another.
Lernergebnisse
After completing the module, students will be able to
• comprehend the key research topics and broad spectrum of the methods of scientific research at the Liechtenstein School of Architecture and in their specialist area;
• understand and be conversant in the ontological and epistemological foundations of their research work;
• conceive a research design and formulate research questions with their associated methods;
• have mastered the fundamental scientific writing skills required to formulate a scientific paper;
• present and defend their work to their peers in the scientific community;
• connect with colleagues at various stages of the PhD process and their scientific careers.
Kompetenzen
Lehrmethoden
