This module provides an introduction to the common approaches used in research in the humanities and social sciences. Students will gain a broad introductory understanding of research and actively engage with some of these research
methods, carrying out small research tasks within the module. Students will work together and support each other in a community of practice, developing their knowledge, understanding, and skills in research. This module will also support
subject-specific learning and skills development to prepare students for the final research essays that they will write in the second semester.
