Two years’ experience as a radiographer.

Students must have been admitted to the Master’s Programme in Health and Technology - Specialisation in Radiography. The course is also offered as an individual course, with the same admission requirements as for the specialisation.

None

The scope of a master's thesis is normally 30-80 pages, not including references. The thesis must be written in 12 points font, line spacing: 1.5. This report counts 70 % of the final grade.

The scope is discussed and agreed in more detail with the supervisor.

Individual oral presentations (10-20 minutes) will be given during the defense of the thesis. This will be followed by an oral examination with examiners (30 minutes). This presentation counts for 30 % of the final grade.

All parts of the exam must be passed in order to pass the course.

Students who are given a fail grade on the master’s thesis are allowed to submit one new or revised thesis.

All aids are permitted if the rules for source referencing are complied with.

One internal and one external examiner assess the thesis. The supervisor is not a part of the grading.

Gradert skala A-F

Alle besvarelsene vurderes av to sensorer. 25 prosent vurderes av en ekstern og en intern sensor. De øvrige vurderes av to interne sensorer. Ekstern sensors vurdering skal komme alle studentene til gode.

All answers are assessed by two examiners. 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.

None.
