Admission Requirements: Successful completion of the module "Fundamentals of the Geographies of Global
Inequalities".
Qualification Goals: Students are able to apply the theoretical foundations of empirical research in practice and
are able to reflect on the practical research procedure in application and, if necessary, adapt it in consideration of
scientific standards. In dealing with research partners, they can proceed in a diversity-sensitive manner and draw
on intercultural competencies in communication and research practice.
Content: The focus is on the empirical application of theoretical and methodological knowledge in a defined study
area in the context of the analysis of global inequalities. This includes conducting their own empirical geographic
field research in small groups in a European or non-European country, preferably in cooperation with local
universities, (non-)governmental organizations or civil society organizations. Students evaluate the collected data
and prepare their results.
