AURA Programme Research 2 (R2) Course: Researcher-led Approaches to Research
Browse by
R2 focuses on researcher-led approaches to research, and aims to help learners with their practice as academics and researchers. While R1 looked at analytical and holistic approaches to research, their philosophical underpinnings and the way they generally shape our behaviour as researchers, in R2 learners will engage with analytical approaches to research.
