Empirical-experimental research study

Empirical-experimental research study (EXPRAK)

In the Exprak module you will independently plan, carry out and document an empirical scientific study. The module is two semesters with 4 SWS each: In the first semester (winter semester) there is an introduction to scientific work based on a given study, which is carried out under supervision in small groups. In the second semester (summer semester) you will conduct your own study in small groups.

Parallel courses are offered, which are carried out by different working groups. Registration and assignment to the courses takes place at the end of the 2nd semester (i.e. in the summer semester) for the next winter semester and summer semester (see important dates). Then the groups will be assigned / raffled and you will be informed about your group.
