This includes patient phenomena such as hope and hopelessness, pain and pain relief, exhaustion and energy. You will complete 7 weeks of practical training in this course.

Language of instruction: Norwegian/English

Under supervision, the students will conduct an independent research or development project, or a literature summary. Students can choose to write the master’s thesis individually or in pairs. On application, large, interdisciplinary innovation projects can be written in groups of up to four students. Students can also apply to write the master’s thesis with students from other specialisations if they so wish, provided that the scope of the master’s thesis is the same. If more than one student work on the master’s thesis together, each student’s contributions must be documented. The thesis can be written as a monograph or as a scientific article on a specialised topic.

Development of the project description in preparation for the master’s thesis is part of the course MAVIT4070 Research Design and Project Description, 10 ECTS credits.
