Presentation
The course serves as a bridge between the Research Design course and the Master's Dissertation in Political Communication. While it is not intended to replace the role of the dissertation supervisor or co-supervisor, the course aims to consolidate the theoretical and methodological foundations that will underpin the final dissertation. At the same time, it provides structured guidance throughout the research process and encourages peer interaction and mutual support, helping to reduce the sense of isolation that often characterises the dissertation stage.
