MABY4200 Building Physics and Climate Adaptation of Buildings Course description

The master's thesis is an independent research work conducted under supervision.

The students are offered research topics that can be related to either research projects at OsloMet or external Norwegian and foreign institutions with which the university has signed agreements. In special cases, the topic may stem from the student’s own idea for a research project.

Students choose their master’s thesis topic based on their academic background and interests. Relevant project outlines are made available digitally.

The student must have been admitted to the study programme. The course is also offered as an individual course.

Emnet danner et teoretisk og praktisk grunnlag for å kunne vurdere valg og utførelse av metoder som er aktuelle både i dagens og framtidens medisinske diagnostikk og forskning. Dette omfatter immunologiske, biokjemiske, celle- og molekylærbiologiske metoder. I det praktiske arbeidet benyttes et utvalg av metodene.

The most important teaching and learning methods for this course are workshops, lectures, group work, studio courses and tutoring.

After completing the course, the student is expected to have achieved the following learning outcomes defined in terms of knowledge, skills and competence:

Knowledge

The student

• has advanced knowledge of selected methods in biochemistry and cell biology, their possibilities and limitations
• is capable of discussing theory and principles for advanced in vivo and in vitro protein analyses
• has up to date knowledge of proteomics
• has knowledge of advanced microscopy techniques and their areas of application
• has advanced knowledge of different methods for preparation of transgenic animals, and can explain the laws and regulations that regulate the production of such animals

Skills

The student is capable of

• assessing biochemical and cell biological methods’ suitability, their strengths and weaknesses in an independent manner
• using and critically interpreting results from selected methods in the field of biochemistry and cell biology in an independent manner
• conducting bio-informatic searches in web-based sequence databases
• writing a research report in a scientific manner

Competence

The student is capable of

• critically assessing relevant methods in biomedical research and diagnostics
• designing a research study in biochemistry and cell biology
• making use of, discussing, and disseminating advanced research literature
• critically assessing the ethical dilemmas of using animals in research
