Introduction
On successful completion of this part the student will achieve the following learning outcomes:
Knowledge
The student is able to
- describe the challenges in welfare systems, relevant national legislation, and the role of national and international organisations, regulations and agreements
- describe the past, and present developments and achievements of public health and discuss possible future challenges within the field
- describe social inequalities in health and their consequences nationally and globally
- describe epidemiology and different cost analyses and discuss inter-professional, inter-sectoral and evidence-based interventions with target groups
- discuss democratic development and the principles of universal design from a human rights perspective
Skills
The student is able to
- address challenges in public health and demonstrate how to intervene professionally in collaboration with others
- demonstrate communication skills to improve health literacy
- search for relevant research, and analyse and apply to the findings in their assignment.
General competences
The student is able to
- apply the tools of innovation and entrepreneurship in public health issues and communicate the results to an audience
- reflect upon ethical issues and discuss intercultural perspectives in public health.
Required preliminary courses
On completion of the course, the PhD candidate has achieved the following learning outcomes, defined in terms of knowledge, skills, and general competence:
Knowledge
The PhD candidate
- is able to conduct bioinformatics analysis projects in agreement with best practice (transparency and reproducibility) in the field of bioinformatic science's philosophy
- is in the forefront of knowledge about the current high throughput sequencing (HTS) technologies and understands the differences, benefits and drawbacks of these HTS technologies
- can evaluate and make sound decisions on which platform and bioinformatic approach to use for different HTS projects.
- can contribute to development of new knowledge and interpret results from various HTS applications
Skills
The PhD candidate can
- plan a HTS research project and choose optimal sequencing platform
- carry out the relevant bioinformatic analyses both on the command-line (unix) and R-studio, and utilize web-based resources like Galaxy server and Genbank E-utilities.
- interpret the results of bioinformatics analysis of HTS (e.g. reliability, sensitivity and specificity) and judge their value for answering biological questions
- disseminate the results of HTS based research
General competence
The PhD candidate can
- argue in favour of particular HTS technologies or bioinformatic approaches on the basis of current knowledge
- argue in favour of the kind of materials and the number of samples to select/include in different kinds of HTS projects
- can participate in discussions on HTS methodology
Learning outcomes
The teaching and learning approach consists of group work supported by lectures, workshops and self-studies. Groups, consisting of approximately 5 students, focus on two assignments facilitated by tutors. It is expected that every group member contributes to the creation and presentation of both assignments. See the course description for further details.
All parts of the module have a focus on interactivity in promoting knowledge exchange and on inter-professional collaborative dialogue, enhancing self-awareness in the professional role. The students will gain practice in decision-making and problem-solving, related to client-centered and evidence-based practice.
Teaching and learning methods
Studiet er treårig. Første studieår er felles for alle og organisert som et heltidsstudium som gir 60 studiepoeng.
I emner hvor antall deltagere begrenses av tilgjengelig produksjonsutstyr fordeles plassene etter karakter i forutgående relevante produksjonsemne. Se nærmere bestemmelser i emneplan for de aktuelle emnene. Hvis flere stiller likt, eller det ikke er et forutgående produksjonsemne foretas loddtrekning.
Progresjonsbestemmelser
- Emner tilsvarende minst 50 studiepoeng av første studieår må normalt være bestått før studenten kan fortsette på andre studieår.
- Hele første studieår og emner tilsvarende minst 45 studiepoeng av andre studieår må normalt være bestått før studenten kan fortsette på tredje studieår.
- For å kunne ta emnene MOK3900 Bacheloroppgave og MOKVPRAK Praksis må 120 studiepoeng være bestått.
Studenter som mangler flere studiepoeng enn beskrevet ovenfor, får ikke fortsette på neste studieår før kravet er oppfylt.
Course requirements
It is required that students complete all the obligatory practical exercises .
Assessment
I emner med tekniske/praktiske ferdighetskrav er det obligatorisk oppmøte på all undervisning eller på tekniske kurs.
Fravær utover den aktuelle grensen på undervisning, se den enkelte emneplan, medfører at studenten ikke kan fremstille seg til eksamen. Studenten vil miste ett eksamensforsøk. Ved dokumentert sykdom eller andre vektige grunner, kan det gis skriftlige eller muntlige oppgaver for å dokumentere at studenten oppfyller ferdighetskravene i emnet. Slike oppgaver kompenserer fravær og regnes som ekstra arbeidskrav (se regler for arbeidskrav under Vurdering i den enkelte emneplan).
Fravær fra obligatorisk deltagelse på tekniske kurs vil ikke kunne erstattes på denne måten. Studenter som mangler tekniske kurs må fullføre disse neste gang emnet tilbys og deretter fremstille seg for eksamen.
Obligatoriske innleveringsoppgaver, kurs og faglige studentfremlegg (arbeidskrav) er integrert i studieforløpet. Det vil framgå av undervisningsplanen, som legges ut i Canvas ved semesterstart, hvilke oppgaver som skal innleveres til hvilken frist. Studentene er selv ansvarlige for å holde seg orientert om de ulike tidsfristene. Arbeidskravene innleveres individuelt eller i samarbeid med andre studenter.
Arbeidskrav vurderes som godkjent/ ikke godkjent. Dersom et arbeidskrav blir vurdert til "ikke godkjent", må det leveres et nytt produkt innen den frist som blir satt. Dersom et arbeidskrav ikke leveres innen angitt frist, må grunnen til dette dokumenteres, og det avtales en utsatt frist med faglærer. Arbeidskrav kan normalt leveres inntil tre ganger. Med mindre det er gjort endringer i emneplanen er arbeidskrav gyldige som grunnlag for eksamensrett i de to påfølgende studieårene.
Alle arbeidskrav i et emne må være godkjent for å kunne gå opp til avsluttende vurdering.
Hvor mange arbeidskrav som knytter seg til de enkelte emner, fremgår under beskrivelsen av hvert emne.
Permitted exam materials and equipment
Two examiners evaluate all candidates.
Grading scale
All obligatory exercises must be completed to take the final exam. The final exam is an individual home examination over 6 hours. One internal and one external examiner will assess the answer papers submitted by all candidates.
Examiners
Grades are awarded on the basis of pass or fail.
