interdisciplinary research critical thinking analytical skills research writingThe University College of the North invites you to collaborate with our dedicated learners enrolled in the Critical Theory 2 course. This course delves into the major modern and contemporary schools and movements in critical theory, equipping students with advanced understanding and analytical skills in interpreting cultural phenomena, literary works, and societal issues. Our learners, primarily in their second year of study, are trained to evaluate complex theoretical texts, conduct independent research, and articulate intricate concepts both orally and in writing.
By participating in this collaboration, employers will engage with learners who are keen to build skills in critical analysis, interdisciplinary research, and scholarly debate. The purpose of this course is to foster a deep understanding of critical theories and their applications, preparing students to contribute thoughtfully and insightfully to various fields.
At the end of this collaboration, employers will receive:
- A comprehensive final report highlighting the main findings and recommendations proposed by the students.
- A final presentation where learners will present their results and answer any questions from the employer.
