Output competences vary depending on the specific research project for which the student registers. Some of the most common outputs include:
- Advanced experience with doing literature review relevant for a specific research question;
- Enhanced knowledge of procedures and pitfalls of selecting and preparing research methods for a specific research project: looking for information, translating and piloting instruments, putting together an electronic questionnaire, designing a test, etc.;
- Practical experience with the selection of target population and sampling procedures appropriate for a specific research project;
- Practical experience with addressing ethical issues in research (e.g. writing up informed consent forms and obtaining informed consent from participants);
- Practical experience with participant recruitment and data collection;
- Skills and knowledge necessary for compiling error-free data files ready for statistical analysis (e.g. aligning data from various sources, reversing scores, computing total scores, identifying problematic cases, etc.);
- Enhancement of skills and knowledge of statistical analysis through hypothesis testing under the investigator's supervision;
- Experience with collaborative preparation of a research report for publication (e.g. a conference poster).
