Seminar The seminar course guides the Master's students for their research required for their thesis work. As part of the course, students are also required to attend the weekly seminar sessions arranged by the Economic Research Center (ERC) of the Department of Economics. The weekly seminar sessions by the ERC are where postgraduate students of the Faculty of Business and Economics can present their research papers. When the students taking this course attend these seminar sessions, they learn how a research paper should be constructed and presented. |
