Program overview

Conclude your academic search with a specific, concise, understandable and representative research topic.

One of the most intriguing research areas is deciding how to frame your research topic and convert it into an understandable, concise title. Every researcher has a broader understanding of what the researcher wants to achieve but may not be able to convert this into a concrete topic out of a sea of information related to the problem area and, thus, will not be able to title the research topic itself.

We have dived deeply into answering the question of what it takes to frame and refine a research topic that will serve as the foundation for your research question, literature review, theoretical framework, and even the research design.

Instructional Approach:

• The course lectures explain the concepts and their underlying principles and then connect them with real-world scenarios.
• Micro-assignments and in-lecture quizzes elevate your ability to simultaneously test and apply what you have learned. 
• Case studies and readings provide practical perspectives on the concepts discussed and help you put the learning into action, allowing you to gain substantial takeaways from the course. 

Skills this course bring:

• Topic Refinement
• Research Topic Selection
• Research Area Framing
• Research Strategy
