- Selects and uses relevant primary and secondary literature.
- Is able to relate critically to applied sources, theories and methods.
- Demonstrates familiarity with standard principles for academic methodology and skills in applying theory and methodology in order to independently define and deal with issues within the selected area.
- Is able to present an academic subject to an audience in an appropriate manner.
