Inhoud

Within the Interdisciplinary Business Professional (IBP) master programme, the focus is on applied research. However, to do rigorous applied research , a good theoretical and methodological foundation is required. The module Research in Business teaches students how to conduct applied research in an interdisciplinary context. 

Research in Business is the first component of the curriculum of the IBP master programme. Students learn to use academic literature, build arguments and about different research methods. We emphasize the use of the empirical cycle in combination with an evidence-based approach. The end result of the module Research in Business is the research proposal, in which students demonstrate that they can create a research design based on methodological principles. This training will form the foundation for the Innovation Assignment, and for the Master Thesis in the second semester.
