The purpose of the course is that students should develop their knowledge and understanding of research methodological and epistemological and ontological issues within the main field of Urban Studies and how to apply them in urban research.

The course is structured around three modules focusing on different research methodology: ethnography, socio-spatial analysis using geographical information science (G.I.S), and critical mapping.

The course consists of several interactive elements.

- Introductory presentations in lecture form of methodological and theory of knowledge themes relevant to the field of Urban Studies.
- Practical exercises in the form of workshops where students identify important and interesting urban issues and develop their skills in analysing them.
- Examination presentations where students practise analyzing an urban issue using empirical material collected through small-scale investigations with the methods introduced in the course.

Malmö University provides students who participate in, or who have completed a course, with the opportunity to express their opinions and describe their experiences of the course by completing a course evaluation administered by the University. The University will compile and summarise the results of course evaluations. The University will also inform participants of the results and any decisions relating to measures taken in response to the course evaluations. The results will be made available to the students (HF 1:14).
