ARBIB2000 Privacy and Information Society Law Course description

The student must have been admitted to the Master’s Programme in Health Sciences and hold authorisation as an occupational therapist.

The course will use varied, student-active work methods. The teaching is organised into two five-day sessions. Work and teaching methods include lectures, seminars, digital learning resources, assignments, group work, oral presentations and self-study. Throughout the course, students will work on a written assignment related to a topic of their choice. One intention of the assignment is to carry out a knowledge summary of topics that can later become the focus of the student’s master’s thesis. At the teaching sessions, the students will present their home assignments and receive feedback from fellow students and lecturers. The written assignments form the basis for the examination assignment.

Students must submit a project description for their master's thesis. Each group of students is then assigned an academic supervisor. However, it is not uncommon for students to have been in contact with one or more potential supervisor while preparing the project description in the third semester.

The following coursework requirements must have been approved in order for the student to take the exam:

• Coursework 1: A project plan of 10 pages (+/- 10 per cent) must be approved before work on the master’s thesis begins in the fourth semester. The project plan must describe the literature, the research question and the plan for the thesis. It also forms the basis for the assignment of an academic supervisor.
• Coursework 2: Attending a first mandatory seminar in the beginning of the fourth semester.
• Coursework 3: Attending a second mandatory seminar later in fourth semester.

All required coursework must be completed and approved by the given deadline in order for the student to take the exam. If the project plan is not approved, the student will be given one opportunity to submit an improved version by the given deadline.

The exam in the course is a master's thesis.

The master's thesis is an independent project carried out in groups of two to three students. Students with compelling reasons, for example illness or the need to work individually on one's own business idea, may apply to write individually. Work alongside studies or place of residence is not considered a valid reason for completing the master's thesis individually. Students receive individual and/or group-based supervision for approximately ten hours. This supervision helps ensure that students acquire the necessary knowledge, provides essential quality assurance in the collection and processing of data, and ensures that these activities are conducted in accordance with research ethics guidelines.

The scope of a master's thesis is expected to be between 80-100 pages. For students who have been granted permission to write an individual thesis, the expected thesis is between 60-80 pages. The thesis must be written in Arial or Calibri, 12 points. Line spacing: 1.5. All references must follow APA guidelines. The scope is discussed and agreed in more detail with the supervisor. For theses with a large quantitative analysis component, the number of pages may be less important.

Students are allowed to submit a new or revised master’s thesis once if they are awarded a fail grade. Students who fail the ordinary exam may be given one hour of academic supervision subject to agreement with the supervisor.

Pass/fail.

All answers are assessed by one examiner.

An external examiner is used regularly, at a minimum of every third completion of the course. When selecting answers for external evaluation, a minimum of 10 percent of the answers shall be included, with no fewer than 5 answers. The external examiner’s assessment of the selected answers shall benefit all students.

10 ECTS credits overlaps with MAERGD4000 Interventions in Everyday Life and Work, 20 ECTS credits.
