Introduction
In this course, the students shall develop knowledge, skills and general competence relating to the development of software systems. The students shall gain insight into how the properties of the systems are defined, the framework for the development and how the development process is managed. Furthermore, the students shall learn to understand some of the complexity of the interaction between software systems and different user and stakeholder groups. The students shall understand the essence of and develop the ability to critically assess both modern (including agile) and traditional methods and technologies for software engineering.

Learning outcomes
After completing the course, the student is expected to have achieved the following learning outcomes defined in terms of knowledge, skills and general competence:
Knowledge The student is capable of explaining:
- different phases and activities that form part of software engineering
- different methods and technologies for software engineering
- the use of different process models, methods, techniques and tools to achieve project and system quality
Skills
The student is capable of:
- applying methods and techniques to obtain, analyse and specify requirements for a system
- designing software systems
- considering and applying expedient processes, methods, techniques and tools for software development
- creating system design based on a requirements analysis
General competence
The student has:
- knowledge of qualitative and quantitative research methods
-
Teaching and learning methods
The entrepreneurship project: The student will carry out an IT project in collaboration with a relevant start-up company, individually or in groups of maximum five students. Completion of the course requires a placement in an IT start-up company corresponding to two days a week over a 12-week period. If the project is carried out during the summer, the work must correspond to four days a week over a six-week period.
OsloMet will help individual or groups of students to get in touch with a start-up company that has a suitable project. The company must provide an approved IT entrepreneurship project and a competent supervisor. Furthermore, OsloMet will provide an internal supervisor at OsloMet. The students will develop a prototype for a product that is relevant for the start-up company, or develop and implement new functionality in the technology of the start-up company.
In addition to the projects on offer, students can find their own projects within a relevant company, public organization or nonprofit. In this case, it is the student's responsibility to find a supervisor for the project within the external organization. All student-initiated projects must be approved by the course coordinator before the start of the project.
The course will only run if there is a sufficient number of students registered.

Assessment
After completing the course, the student should have the following learning outcomes defined in terms of knowledge, skills and general competence:
Knowledge
The student
- can describe the structure and function of biological barriers
- can explain the function of relevant ancillary substances in pharmaceutical preparations
- is capable of explaining factors that can limit the bioavailability of active ingredients and influence the biopharmaceutical properties of pharmaceuticals
- can explain the choice of active ingredients, formulation and route of administration in connection with pharmaceutical development
- can give grounds for how the durability and conditions for storage of pharmaceuticals are determined
- is capable of assessing the use of different pharmaceutical formulations based on a patient’s condition and needs
Skills
The student
- can discuss principles of pharmaceutical formulation based on information from summaries of product characteristics (SPC) and any other relevant pharmaceutical reference works
- masters basic skills in aseptic work technique and sterilisation procedures
- can assess whether a pharmaceutical batch is consistent with specific quality requirements
- can present an allocated relevant topic to fellow students
General competence
The student
- can apply knowledge to identify innovative formulations and critical stages of the development and production of pharmaceuticals
- can familiarise him/herself with the principles of formulation for new pharmaceuticals
- can assess possibilities for individual adaptation of pharmaceutical formulation to create the best possible health at the individual level
- has a conscious relationship to the choice of own formulation and routes of administration
- has an understanding of the role of the pharmacist in pharmaceutical development and production
-
Permitted exam materials and equipment
Supervision sessions with an external and/or internal supervisor. The students will work alone or in groups of two to five students on an IT project in a start-up company.
Projects are selected/distributed at the start of the semester.
-
Grading scale
The following must have been approved in order for the student to take the exam:
- Minimum attendance of 90% in the laboratory course in the production of pharmaceuticals subject to sterility requirements
- Individual practical test in the production of pharmaceuticals subject to sterility requirements, up to 2 hours
If the practical test is not approved, arrangements will be made for another attempt before the ordinary exam. Approval is required in order for the student to be able to take the ordinary exam. Students are entitled to a third attempt before the resit/rescheduled exam. If a piece of required coursework is not approved, this may lead to delayed progress in the programme.
-
Examiners
Written project report (100% of the final grade).
A written project report delivered at the of the semester, individual or in groups (max 5 students), 4000 words +/-10 %.
For group projects, all members of the group receive the same grade. Under exceptional circumstances, individual grades can be assigned at the discretion of the project supervisor(s) and Head of Studies.
The exam result can be appealed.

Overlapping courses
Grade scale A-F.
