Our course is about demystifying research and research methods. It will outline the fundamentals of doing research, aimed primarily, but not exclusively, at the postgraduate level. It places the student experience at the centre of our endeavours by engaging learners in a range of robust and challenging discussions and exercises befitting SOAS, University of London's status as a research-intensive university and its rich research heritage.

Our course will appeal to those of you who require an understanding of research approaches and skills, and importantly an ability to deploy them in your studies or in your professional lives.

In particular, this course will aid those of you who have to conduct research as part of your postgraduate studies but do not perhaps have access to research methods courses, or for those of you who feel you would like additional support for self-improvement. No prior knowledge or experience in research is required to take this course and as such, the course is for everyone. 

Our course draws on a wealth of existing course material developed to support research training across SOAS, University of London and particularly drawing from the Centre for International Studies and Diplomacy (CISD)

课程大纲

The Course syllabus is deliberately focused on four online activities known as e-tivities (Salmon, 2002). These will provide the vehicle for you to consider enhancing your understanding of research.

Week 1 – What is research?
E-tivity 1: Asking the right question

Week 2 & 3 – What is a literature review and why do you need to do one?
E-tivity 2: Recognising the field

Week 4 & 5 – Planning and managing critical research
E-tivity 3: Staying critical

Week 6 – How do you know you have been a good researcher?
E-tivity 4: What makes a good research question?
