Learning Outcome:For students with a strong interest and capability in research, the ERM-Research-Module is an advanced study alternative in the Master's programme. This variant includes in particular the independent preparation of a two-semester research project. The students learn how to work on scientific problem formulation, the target-oriented implementation of experimental approaches and the scientific evaluation and presentation of the results.  
The students carry out research-orientated tasks which they work on increasingly independently and in exchange with other project participants under the intensive supervision of experienced researchers. The main scope is the development of scientific problem-solving skills by means of information gathering as well as the application of theoretical knowledge acquired in small group advanced seminars.
Contents:The supervising lecturers select suitable topics from their subject areas and intensively support the students in learning the necessary subject-specific and interdisciplinary skills. The contents of the module are regularly adapted in line with ongoing research projects in the participating disciplines.
