theoretical and empirical framework for the design and implementation of scientific research. The starting point lies in the identification of the research process as the basis for the development and evolution of science both theoretically and empirically. In the context of the course, students penetrate the research subject, participate in research

practices and evaluate research results through the use of specific tools and data, both primary and secondary. The course uses a variety of applications and multiple case studies in order to achieve this primary objective.

More specifically, during the teaching of the course the following modules will be covered:

•       Identifying the research process and the different forms of research

•       Developing key parameters in the design of a research approach

•       Design, development and implementation of a research process

•       Objects, Subjects and potential markets in a survey

•       Types and specificities of research approaches

•       Research methods

•       Ways, means and tools for implementing scientific research

•       Exploration and analysis of data (primary and secondary)

•       Questionnaires: utility and design

•

Presentation I: Designing a research project Presentation II: Formulating a research article

•       Cases studies

(2^nd PART) The purpose of this course is to provide students with the necessary skills to for the successful completion of a scientific research project, relevant to the subject of the

postgraduate programme, the results of which will be invited to

present in the context of their thesis. More specifically, during the teaching of the course the following modules will be covered:

•       Objective and stages of the research process

•       Theory of science and research approaches

•       Formulation of the research question

•       Literature review

·         Research design

·          Research ethics

•       Primary and secondary data

•       Sampling procedures

•       Data collection techniques

•       Data preparation

•       Analysis of qualitative and quantitative data

•       Compilation and presentation of a research

is also done with the use of the Wacom digital pen, which ensures the interactivity of the lesson with

notes that appear directly on the students’ screen.

In addition, slides are projected, use of the
