Qualitative research involves collecting and analyzing non-numerical data (e.g., text, video, or audio) to understand concepts, opinions, or experiences. It can be used to gather in-depth insights into a problem or generate new ideas for research. Qualitative research is the opposite of quantitative research which involves collecting and analyzing numerical data for statistical analysis. Qualitative research is commonly used in the humanities and social sciences, in subjects such as anthropology, sociology, education, health sciences, history, etc.

This graduate-level course explores how collective memory is constructed, circulated, contested, and transformed through media. Drawing on foundational thinkers such as Maurice Halbwachs, Jan Assmann, and Pierre Nora, the course examines the relationship between memory, media institutions, representation, and power in contemporary societies. Students analyze how journalism, film, television, photography, digital platforms, and popular culture function as memory agents that shape national identity, trauma narratives, nostalgia, activism, and counter-memory. Particular attention is given to digital memory, algorithmic curation, transnational memory flows, and the politics of remembrance in mediated environments. Through theoretical readings, case studies, and research-based assignments, students develop advanced analytical skills to critically evaluate media as sites of cultural memory production and negotiation.
This
course will
investigate critical
theory from its Marxist origins to the Frankfurt School and beyond, by
surveying its major theorists and their foundational texts, including that of Marx, Horkheimer, Adorno, Benjamin, Fromm,
Marcuse, and Habermas. This will be followed
by an investigation into the contemporary re-conceptualizations and applications of critical
theory in different academic fields and traditions of thought, with special attentionon the field of media and communication studies.

Diffusion of Innovation (DOI) Theory, developed by E.M. Rogers in 1962, is one of the oldest social science theories. It originated in communication to explain how, over time, an idea or product gains momentum and diffuses (or spreads) through a specific population or social system. The end result of this diffusion is that people, as part of a social system, adopt a new idea, behavior, or product. Adoption means that a person does something differently than what they had previously (i.e., purchase or use a new product, acquire and perform a new behavior, etc.). The key to adoption is that the person must perceive the idea, behavior, or product as new or innovative. It is through this that diffusion is possible.
This course introduces students to the concept of smart destinations: tourism destinations that use digital technologies, data, and innovation to enhance visitor experiences, support local businesses, and improve destination management and sustainability. Students will explore how technologies such as mobile applications, the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence, big data, and immersive media (AR/VR) are applied in real tourism settings. The course is deliberately conceptual and application-oriented rather than technical: no programming or engineering background is required. Through case studies, in-class demonstrations, and a collaborative group project, students from tourism and computing backgrounds will learn to speak a common language and to design realistic smart tourism solutions together.
In this class, students will explore and understand the interrelationships among lifestyle, workplace, and career planning. During the class, students will examine models and theories of career development and forces that shape career-decision making from
pre-school through retirement. In addition, this course will provide sources of career information relevant to educators,
human resource specialists and counselors. The goal of this course is to help students understand career development theories and approaches, learn
to utilize career assessments, access career information, and examine the impact of career on
the lives of individuals with whom they will be working, as well as reflect on their own
personal/professional career development.
The master's thesis is an individual research paper, which should meet the general requirements for scientific publication. The purpose of the master's thesis is to conduct an analysis of a research question within the field of counseling psychology and present the results of your analysis.
The master's thesis should have a precise:
- Research question.
- Appropriate methods.
- A systematic argument.
It allows for normative or descriptive treatment of empirical as well as theoretical issues.
You will be personally responsible for deciding the theme, research question and method of investigation and for undertaking the research.
You are welcome to contact relevant members of the scientific staff to get advice on the choice of topic and research projects before you apply for a supervisor.
