Programme description

  • Introduction

    A one-page outline including the topic and the structure of the report is required. The outline must be approved by the course coordinator/course teacher/supervisor within a set deadline. If the outline is not approved the first time, the student may submit a revised version within a second, set deadline.

  • Required preliminary courses

    The final assessment/examination consists of two parts:

    1. Portfolio assessment, which counts for 50% of the grade. The portfolio will consist of a choice of three from a set of assignments offered in the course. The portfolio will be given a single overall grade. All three assignments must be passed in order for the portfolio to receive a grade E or higher.
    2. An individual project report (3 000-4 000 words) and the one-page project outline, which counts for 50% of the grade.

    All assignments and the final report should be written in either English or Norwegian.

    For assignments that require working in groups, each group may consist of 2-5 candidates.

    Both parts of the examination must be passed in order to pass the course.
