The Methodology Summer School is organised by Centre for Business in Society (CBiS) and Centre for Financial and Corporate Integrity (CFCI) as part of an effort to enrich research communities at Coventry University. The Methodology Summer School provides a variety of research skills, methodology and software sessions and serves PhD, DBA and Master’s candidates as well as staff members at Coventry, who want to:
- Understand soft and technical skills to become a better-equipped researcher.
- Learn essential research methods and software techniques.
- Develop an idea about which analysis methods best suit their research questions.
- Identify solutions to methodological problems in ongoing research.
- Participate in an intellectual research community that shares methodological interests.
Each session is delivered by experienced researchers in the Centre for Business in Society (CBiS) or the Centre for Financial and Corporate Integrity (CFCI) of the Institute for Responsible Business Economies and Society (IRBES). Visit the RECAP Research Methods page for more details.
