Given the nature of this unit, it is hardly possible to define programmatic contents with specific topics. Basically, the subject attempts the use of acquired skills in order to successfully complete the master thesis. Accordingly, it focuses on some particular topics:
1.General structure of the master thesis
2.Writing the theoretical framework and research issues
3.Link between research hypothesis, methodology and empirical strategy
4.Writing the empirical evidence
5.Link between theoretical framework and empirical analysis
6.Discussion of findings and concluding remarks
7.Preparation for public defence of the master thesis
The master thesis must be discussed and defended publically. The goal is to assess students' technical, writing, presentation, and discussion skills.
