Students will carry out a research project using legal or empirical research methods. It is especially important that students demonstrate the ability to structure and analyse a research problem relevant to the programme content and that they present their results in a clear and logical manner. Students work independently as they plan and carry out their research projects. The process involves:
-formulating topic, aims, and research questions firmly anchored in relevant background knowledge and various perspectives based on the areas previously studied in the programme,
-specifying aims and research questions by choosing relevant theories, models, analytical framworks, or conceptual schemes,
-delimiting data and choosing appropriate data collection methods,
-collecting, processing, and compiling data,
-analysing the data in the light of the stated aims and research questions, and
-presenting the results of the investigation in a logical and pedagogically sound way in written form and in conformity with relevant academic conventions (references, quotations, tables, figures, source documentation, footnotes and list of references).

The finished research paper is to be presented in a final examination seminar. Students will defend their own paper and act as opponent to another student's research paper. In addition, students are required to take active part in at least three additional examination seminars.
