The course is open to internal students from the Department of Early Childhood Education (full-time students) in the sixth semester. The students follow the approved course description for Aesthetics and Special Needs - Nordic Childhoods (30 ECTS).

The following clarification applies to internal students:

• The exam consisting of three parts counts as the student’s bachelor’s thesis. The assignments;must be written in English.
• Internal students retain bachelor supervision resources while taking the course, and are assigned a supervisor from among the teaching staff involved in the course, as far as possible.

The internal students otherwise follow the same programme and coursework requirements as the external students which, together with the written assignments, makes up the basis for the grade awarded for the course.

Three individual and four group coursework requirements must be passed in order to sit the exam. Aesthetics and/or children and young people with special needs should play an important part in the coursework requirements.
