Department of International Relations · ANU College of Asia and the Pacific
This course is designed to provide students undertaking the Master of Diplomacy; the Master of International Law and Diplomacy; and the Master of Peace and Conflict Studies with the opportunity to research a topic of importance to their field. The skills required to write a good research project build on those developed through essay writing for other courses. The main difference is that for the research project, the student takes the lead in identifying their research puzzle, articulating a question and developing an argument based on research they have carried out independently. The project should be limited enough in scope to be completed within the relevant timeframe. The course will develop students' research, writing and argumentative skills on an issue of significance to their field.
