Learning outcomes -

Doctoral seminars are logically linked to each other. They are implemented for students of all years simultaneously. Therefore, the results are repeated. The years of study when the outcome is to be achieved are indicated in brackets.

The main learning outcomes that a doctoral seminar is expected to produce include:

Clarification of the research question and objectives of the thesis: Students formulate a clear research question, or hypothesis, and objectives for their thesis.
Developing skills in working with the literature: Students will learn to effectively search and critically evaluate sources and analyze different theories and approaches relevant to their topic.
The ability to develop a methodology: Students would select appropriate research methods and procedures to address their research question and then apply them.
Ability to interpret the results of their research: students would interpert the results of their research correctly and evaluate the limitations of their research.
Designing the structure and logic of a thesis: Students will develop a structure for a thesis that is logically organized and clear.
Improve presentation and defense skills: Students will develop the ability to present their work, discuss their results, and defend their ideas to a professional audience.
Supervisor and classmate feedback: Students receive ongoing feedback on their research from peers and instructors and improve their research based on that feedback.
Proper handling of formalities: Students have knowledge of proper citation, formatting, and other technicalities of final papers.
