Literature Review at PhD-level

Main content

The main course goal is to introduce Phd students to the genre of literature review in academic writing, and show how to complete a traditional/narrative literature review for a doctoral thesis. Throughout the course the Phd students will develop their understanding of different types of literature reviews and what purposes these can have in their own research. In addition, the course aims to develop the Phd students’ abilities and knowledge for designing and completing their own literature review through familiarizing them with different kinds of research design, databases, search methods, analysis, and ways of presenting their findings.
