  • Introduction

    Privacy by Design is a fundamental requirement of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) for all systems operating on personal information. This course provides an introduction to privacy and data protection including the legislation such as the GDPR, privacy enhancing technologies, privacy management, designing for privacy, and privacy patterns in software design. It enables the students to understand regulation, to identify privacy risk and consequences of data breaches, introduces them to privacy controls and builds skills in their application in a structured privacy engineering process.

  • Recommended preliminary courses

    General knowledge about information security, data processing and information system architecture would be beneficial.

  • Required preliminary courses

    After completing the course, the student will have the following learning outcomes defined in terms of knowledge and skills:

    Knowledge

    The student can

    • explain the structure of the musculoskeletal system and nervous system in the upper extremities, and the connection between these
    • account for the relationship between the structure of the musculoskeletal system and functional properties in the upper extremities
    • identify and describe surface structures of the body, as well as describe the procedure for palpation of the upper limbs
    • account for normal anatomical variation in the musculoskeletal system in the upper extremities
    • account for the anatomy, function and regulation of the circulatory system and respiratory system, and account for the interaction between the systems
    • describe anatomy, function and regulation in the digestive and endocrine systems
    • describe control mechanisms that are central to the regulation of processes that are to maintai homeostasis, and the cooperation between different organ systems
    • describe the immune system and account for healing after tissue damage
    • describe temperature regulation
    • account for the energy metabolism and basic nutritional physiology
    • account for work physiology and the body's ability to adapt to different types of loads
    • describe anatomical and physiological changes throughout the life course

    Skills

    The student can

    • identify and describe anatomical structures of the musculoskeletal system and the nervous system of the upper limb with precise terminology
    • describe directions of movement, axes and planes in the upper extremities with precise technical terminology
    • apply knowledge of key principles og exercice physiolog tests
    • apply knowledge about how nutrition and physical activity affect physical health
  • Learning outcomes

    The work and teaching methods in the course vary between lectures, seminars, group work, skills training and self-study.

  • Teaching and learning methods

    In order to take the exam, the following must be completed:

    • 2-4 proficiency tests according to given criteria
  • Course requirements

    Supervised individual written exam (multiple choice), 4 hours.

  • Assessment

    No aids permitted.

  • Permitted exam materials and equipment

    Grade scale A-F.

  • Grading scale

    All answers are reviewed by one examiner. An external examiner is regularly involved in the evaluation of assignment sets and assessment criteria, at a minimum for every third ordinary examination.
