Research Methodologies
Seminar I
The main objective of this course is to introduce students to the basic research tools, allowing them to:
- Understand the different steps and dimensions that typically integrate an academic research work
- Correctly select bibliographic sources in order to have a deep understanding of a given literature
- Identify good practices on research and analyze critically specific research projects
- Identify state-of-the-art research lines in the main fields of the Doctoral Programme in Digital Media
- Identify ethical issues arising in the context of the research activity
- Enhance skills to communicate a research proposal in an effective way.
In addition, the course also intends to endow students with basic entrepreneurship skills. To this end, the course presents basic (economic and business) tools and concepts, allowing students to apply them in specific problems related to business model design.
Advanced Topics in Digital Media
The main aim of the curricular unit is to provide the student with an in-depth set of concepts, resulting from a study work to be carried out by the student, duly accompanied by a specific supervisor to be appointed by the programme's Scientific Committee.
Data Analysis and Digital Methods
This course focuses on some specific components of the design of research. More specifically, the course will address:
- the kinds of methods that will produce the information needed to answer research questions; and
- how to analyze data of various kinds in order to answer research questions.
