The student conducts empirical research or a literature review on a topic within the scientific field of Speech and Language Therapy and in subjects that cover broader areas of the curriculum. The empirical research, which may be cross-sectional, longitudinal, a survey, a case study, etc., is based on quantitative and/or qualitative data collected or utilized by the student, if available, to answer research questions or test hypotheses formulated based on the literature. In the literature review, the student undertakes a thorough and critical study and synthesis of the literature and may extend to proposals for its utilization, e.g., in the design of assessment or intervention concerning language disorders.
