Lectures and supervisory sessions.

Supervision sessions with an internal and/or external supervisor. The students will work in groups of three to five students on a project, which is part of a research project at OsloMet or another institution, in cooperation with the research project’s participants and the relevant research group.

The course can be carried out individually by agreement with the course coordinator.

The projects are chosen/assigned at the start of the semester.

Ingen ut over opptakskrav.

Written project report (100% of the final grade).

A written project report delivered at the of the semester, individual or in groups (max 5 students), 4000 words +/-10 %.

For group projects, all members of the group receive the same grade. Under exceptional circumstances, individual grades can be assigned at the discretion of the project supervisor(s) and Head of Studies.

The exam result can be appealed.

None.

Two internal examiners. External examiners are used regularly.

Individuell skriftlig eksamen under tilsyn på 3 timer.

Eksamensresultat kan påklages.

Ved ny og utsatt eksamen kan en annen eksamensform også bli benyttet eller en ny oppgave med en ny frist gis. Hvis muntlig eksamen benyttes kan denne ikke påklages.

Ingen.
