    Part 1 Project assignment in group.

    • 4-6 student in group.
    • Scope of 5,000 words (+/- 10 %).

    The assignment can be given in English or Scandinavian language. The individual group must deliver in the same language.

    Part 1 must be passed before part 2 oral presentation of the project assignment can be carried out.

    Resit exam: A student who fails the ordinary exam, may nevertheless submit a reworked version as a resit.

    Part 2 Presentation of project assignment

    • In seminar.

    The presentation can be given in English or Scandinavian language. The individual group must deliver in the same language.

    Part 1 and part 2 must have obtained a pass grade on both parts in order to pass the course as a whole and earn the credits. Part 1 and part 2 appear on the diploma.

    In situations where group cooperation does not work as it should, it may be necessary to adjust the group composition. This can be done, for example, by reorganising the groups or letting certain members work with other groups. If collaboration problems cannot be resolved, it may also be an alternative for the individual student to complete the exam alone.

  • Teaching and learning methods

    Se fagplanen.

  • Course requirements

    The course focuses on evidence-based public health work, with particular emphasis on health promotion and preventive efforts in community health services. Central themes include understanding how health challenges are distributed in the population. Therefore, you will learn how factors such as education, employment, living conditions, and the environment influence disease, health, and quality of life in the population at individual, group, and societal levels. The environment in which children and young people grow up is also part of the course.

    In community health services, nurses have a significant responsibility to offer care and guidance to various population groups, including healthy individuals, vulnerable populations, and marginalised groups. One topic of discussion is how the development of service offerings and the use of technology in healthcare impact social, ethical, and political issues.

    In this course, you will gain insight into scientific methods and undertake a group project related to practical internship (3 weeks), during which you will plan and execute a project under supervision. This project work provides the group with the opportunity to explore a chosen area of concern and employ suitable methods for data collection and analysis. The results will be presented orally as well as in written form as a project assignment.

    In this course, you study together with students who are on exchange to OsloMet and much of the teaching is arranged with English-speaking groups.
