We will study housing preferences of different social groups: by means of interviews and empirical research we want to find out more about housing preferences of various target groups.

Written bachelor Thesis or powerpoint presentation within the seminar, including discussion, and an introduction to scholarly writing, scholarly research techniques, formulating an argument etc.
