Description
Within the framework of the research seminar, the understanding in the examination of scientific studies is to be sharpened. By learning the relevant research methods and an in-depth examination of research results, you can learn essential basics for writing your Master's thesis. The aim is to acquire the skills to process and present findings in a structured manner against the background of a concrete research question and to critically evaluate them. Building on an introduction to the research topics and methods of international accounting and auditing, you will discuss and evaluate current research questions with the help of literature contributions. In the course, you will learn the basics of how to structure and write scientific articles, on the basis of which you will critically examine the research contributions with regard to their practical relevance and transferability.
Note
This seminar, together with the seminar in cooperation with EY in the winter semester as well as with the seminar "Corporate Governance of Public Organizations" by Prof. Leisyte in the summer semester, falls under Module III. You can only have one of the three seminars counted as an examination credit for Module III!
Examination modalities
7.5 ECTS credits can be acquired. The overall grade of the research seminar Empirical Accounting results from the following three partial performances:
