Find the right academic method for your final project!

The careful selection and exact application of suitable academic methods are absolutely essential for your thesis - in this way, you can transparently and comprehensibly show the way and means by which you have achieved your results. At the same time, you prove that you have worked with academic integrity and that your findings are trustworthy.

However, choosing the correct method is not always easy, not least because of the huge range of options. And, once you've finally picked one, actually implementing it can be even more difficult...

The method portal from the University of Leipzig can help you with these challenges and offers a compact overview of the topic. In addition, you can find advice on common methods such as questionnairs and statistical analyses.
