Individual Research
The central component of the Project Year Programme and the fourth year of the BA in Value Studies is a year-long research project supervised by one or two faculty members, arranged in the light of individual background, interests and plans for the future. The main task is to demarcate a field of focused inquiry and pursue it in depth, but students are also expected to reflect on their choice of problems and preferences of method. In the 'research seminars' students have the opportunity (and challenge) to discuss the premises and findings of their project with peers whose main interests will typically lie elsewhere. The work on the project culminates with a 25-page research paper and an oral presentation of the project to the entire ECLA community.
