Programme history

Introduction

Admission takes place directly to the chosen specialisation. The requirement for admission to the Master’s Degree Programme in Health Sciences is a bachelor's degree or an equivalent degree within a specified field, with an average grade of at least C. However, an average grade of C does not guarantee admission. If the number of qualified applicants exceeds the number of places on the programme, the applicants will be ranked according to the applicable ranking rules.

Admission to individual courses

For admission to individual courses, the admission requirements are described in the course description. The grade C requirement does not apply to admission to individual courses. More information about admission to individual courses can be found on the programme’s website.

Reference is made to the Regulations relating to Admission to Studies at OsloMet. The specialisations and single courses will only be run if a sufficient number of qualified candidates apply.

Admission requirements for the Specialisation in Occupational Therapy

A bachelor's degree or an equivalent degree in occupational therapy. Applicants must also hold Norwegian authorisation as an occupational therapist.

Admission requirements

The master’s programme is designed to be comprehensive, and the academic content and educational tools are interlinked, showing a clear context between learning outcome descriptions, learning activities and forms of assessment.

The Master’s Degree Programme in Health Sciences has three or four compulsory common courses, depending on the chosen specialisation. In addition to these, there are at least two compulsory specialisation courses for each specific specialisation, and a master’s thesis worth either 30 or 50 ECTS credits, depending on the specialisation. The students can also choose one or more elective courses depending on their chosen specialisation. This does not apply to the specialisations cancer nursing, public health nursing and mental health and addictionas they only have compulsory courses in their programme structures.

The courses in the programme description build to some extent on each other to ensure progress, with increasing requirements for knowledge and understanding within each specialisation. The courses are mainly taken over the course of the semester, with start-up at the start of the semester and examinations towards the end. The exceptions are certain compulsory specialisation courses that include external supervised practical training.

The academic year is 40 weeks long, and the expected workload for a full-time student is 40 hours per week. This includes scheduled activities, students’ own study activity and examinations. The course descriptions provide more details about learning outcomes, work methods, coursework requirements and examinations.

Content of compulsory common courses

The programme includes a compulsory common course MAVIT4100 Quality Improvement and Implementation of Evidence-based Practice, 10 ECTS credits. The purpose of this course is to enable students to actively contribute to promoting safe and high-quality health and care services. By health and care services is meant both public and approved private services, as well as health promoting work in the public and private sectors. The course introduces students to the organisation and management of health and care services, and prepares for interprofessional quality improvement work. It also gives students experience of interprofessional quality improvement cooperation. Through the course, the students will learn about different quality improvement models and the interaction between user knowledge, experience-based knowledge and research-based knowledge in clinical decision-making processes.

There are also three common courses in the theory of science and research methods: MAVIT4050 Theory of Science and Research Methods, 10 ECTS credits, MAVIT4060 Qualitative and Quantitative Research Methods, 10 ECTS credits and MAVIT4070/MERG4070 Research Design and Project Description, 10 ECTS credits. These courses aim to help the student to read, understand and critically assess research literature, to critically assess various sources of knowledge that form part of clinical decision-making processes, to acquire in-depth knowledge of qualitative and quantitative research methods, and lead up to the development of a project description for their master’s thesis.

In the first course, MAVIT4050, the students are introduced to theory of science and research methods and research ethics.

The second course, MAVIT4060, provides students with a deeper understanding of qualitative and quantitative research methods.

The third course, MAVIT4070/MERG4070, the students will work more thoroughly with their chosen method and develop a project description for their master’s thesis. This is to ensure that the students get to grips with work on their master’s thesis at an early stage.

Master’s thesis – 30 and 50 ECTS credits

The master’s thesis in the programme is worth 50 ECTS credits (MAVIT5900/MERG5900) or 30 ECTS credits (MAVIT5910), respectively. Whether the students are able to choose the scope of their master’s thesis depends on the specialisation they have been admitted to. Normally students will develop a project description as part of the course MAVIT4070/MERG4070 Research Design and Project Description, 10 ECTS credits. The project description is developed with the support of the lecturer, who quality assures the project with respect to scope and degree of difficulty.

The same requirements apply to scientific and research-related work regardless of the length of the thesis. Students can choose to write the master’s thesis individually or in pairs. Students can also apply to write the master’s thesis with students from other specialisations, provided that the scope of the master’s thesis is the same. On application, interdisciplinary innovation projects can be written in groups of up to four students. Students are encouraged to contact potential supervisors about possible project ideas.

Elective courses

In the course of the master’s programme, the students can choose one or more elective courses depending on their chosen specialisation. This does not apply to the specialisations cancer nursing, public health nursing and mental health and addiction as they only have compulsory courses in their programme structures. Which elective courses that are available will vary. These elective courses cover a broad area of the health sciences. Students must apply for a place on elective courses no later than the semester before, subject to specific deadlines. More information about the elective courses can be found here: https://student.oslomet.no/valgemner-master-helsevitenskap

There will be an upper limit for places on each elective course. Elective courses could be cancelled by the Faculty if enrolment is below the minimum of 20 students.

All compulsory courses in the programme must be passed before the student can submit their master's thesis for assessment.

Some courses may have separate progress requirements; see the individual course descriptions.

See the course descriptions for MERG4100 and MERG4200 for a more detailed description of the content of specialisation courses.

Learning outcomes

Varied and student-active teaching methods are used in the programme. Good learning outcomes are first and foremost dependent on the students’ own efforts. The number of hours of adapted teaching at the university will be relatively low. Own effort means both benefiting from teaching and academic supervision and following this up with independent work in the form of theoretical studies and, if relevant, practical skills training. Normal study progress requires students to make great personal efforts. The most important work and teaching forms used in each course in the programme are described below. The individual course descriptions state which work methods each course employs. Practical training is described in a separate chapter; see below.

Web-based work and teaching methods

Several forms of digital learning resources are used in the programme, such as digital textbooks, digital lectures, video clips, podcasts, tests, learning pathways and assignments. These resources can be used to prepare for teaching sessions, during seminars using the flipped classroom method, and as part of self-study. This form of teaching requires the students to meet prepared for the scheduled teaching sessions. Interaction can also take place digitally, in the form of Skype meetings, webinars etc.

Self-study and student cooperation/group work

Learning requires a high degree of own activity and self-study, including both individual work and cooperation with fellow students. Through activities such as exchanging ideas, presentations, discussions, writing assignments and problem-based assignments, students will be stimulated to learn by communicating knowledge and experience, expressing their own opinions and, together, reflecting on their own attitudes, actions and understanding of the field. Students are encouraged to take initiative to schedule and actively participate in study groups to promote learning.

Lectures

Lectures are primarily used to introduce new subject matter, provide an overview and highlight main elements and links within different topics, and also to communicate relevant issues.

Seminars

Seminars emphasise dialogue and discussion between the subject teacher(s) and students in order to stimulate the student's academic development. Verbal presentations by students and discussions are emphasised.

In connection with the master's thesis, seminars are held where the master's theses are presented and discussed. The students receive feedback from their fellow students and teachers, which enables them to learn from each other. Research-related issues, methods and academic supervision are among the topics discussed in the seminars. Seminars can also take place on digital collaboration platforms.

Written assignments and academic supervision

Through written assignments and the master's thesis, students will formulate research questions for assignments and work on them over time, either individually or in cooperation with other students. They will learn theory and develop skills in using and referencing sources, analysis, discussion and written and oral communication. The primary purpose of this is to develop their ability to reflect critically, see elements in context and develop a deeper understanding of a subject.

Developing academic writing skills is a key aspect of all parts of the programme. Supervision is an important component of the work on the master's thesis. The supervision is intended to ensure that the project complies with research ethics principles and help students to formulate the research question and ensure quality in the collection and analysis of data.

Content and structure

Master i barnehagekunnskap består av tre obligatoriske emner og fire valgemner, alle på 15 studiepoeng, samt masteroppgaven.

De tre obligatoriske emnene skal gi studentene et felles faglig fundament og en tydelig progresjon gjennom studieprogrammet. I det første obligatoriske emnet MBH4410 Barnehagepedagogiske grunnlagsspørsmål får studentene avansert kunnskap om barnehagefaglige og pedagogiske grunnlagsspørsmål, og emnet fungerer som et kunnskapsgrunnlag som videreutvikles gjennom masterutdanningen. Det andre obligatoriske emnet MBH4100 Vitenskapsteori og forskningsmetoder gir en bred oversikt over ulike vitenskapsteoretiske retninger, forskningsetikk og metodiske tilnærminger som benyttes i barnehageforskningen. Det tredje obligatoriske emnet MBH4460 Forskningsdesign og metodologi utdyper forståelsen av sammenhengen mellom vitenskapsteori og metodiske tilnærminger, og studentene vil i dette emnet utvikle spesialisert kompetanse i forskningsdesign, forskningsmetodologi og forskerrollen i barnehageforskningen.

De fire valgemnene MBH4420 Mangfold og bærekraft i barnehagen, MBH4430 Barnehageledelse, organisasjon og profesjon, MBH4440 Hverdagsliv i barnehagen – pedagogikk, estetikk og lek, samt MBH4450 Pedagogisk ledelse, veiledning og kompetanseutvikling i barnehagen, gir studentene mulighet til å fordype seg i barnehagepedagogiske spørsmål og temaer.

Masteroppgaven er en fordypning i aktuelle temaer innen barnehagekunnskap.

Teaching and learning methods

Undervisningen på studieprogrammet består forelesninger, seminarer, kollokvier, prosjektarbeid, selvstudium, muntlige fremlegg og skriftlige arbeider. Undervisningen vil i hovedsak bli konsentrert til to faste dager i uka, litteraturstudier og arbeidskrav kommer i tillegg. Plan over undervisning legges ut på læringsplattformen ved begynnelsen av studieåret.

Arbeidet med masteroppgaven går ut på å gjennomføre et forskningsprosjekt. Studenten får tildelt veileder på grunnlag av en prosjektskisse. Masteroppgaven er vanligvis en individuell oppgave, men dersom to studenter ønsker å skrive sammen, kan det innvilges.

Studentene har også anledning til å delta på felles tilbud for studenter fra alle masterstudier ved OsloMet.

Internationalisation

Different forms of assessment are used on the programme that are adapted to the learning outcomes of the various courses. The forms of assessment used are intended to support learning and document the students’ level of competence in relation to the expected learning outcomes. All examinations taken that are part of the specialisation will appear on the diploma, as well as the title of the student’s master’s thesis. Students who take additional elective courses in excess of 120 credits get these on their transcript, and must choose which elective courses are to be included on the diploma. In general, the following forms of assessment are used in the programme:

Supervised individual examination

Taken at the university’s examination premises over a set number of hours.

Home examination

Taken over a set period of time at the end of the course, normally with a set question/assignment text unless otherwise stated in the course description.

Project examination

Taken over the whole or large parts of the course, normally with a topic decided by the students themselves unless otherwise stated in the course description.

Oral examination

Can take place individually or in groups. It can either be an independent form of assessment or used to adjust the grade awarded for another examination.

Practical examination

The assessment of specific practical skills either at the university or in the field of practice.

Assessment of practical training

Supervised practical training, assessed in accordance with the Regulations relating to Studies and Examinations at OsloMet – Oslo Metropolitan University.

The assessment of examinations and practical training is carried out in accordance with the applicable rules set out in the Act relating to Universities and University Colleges, the Regulations relating to Studies and Examinations at OsloMet and the Guidelines for Appointment and Use of examiners at OsloMet. The forms of assessment and criteria are described in each course description.

Examinations

All courses conclude with an examination. The assessment is based on the learning outcomes for the course, and the degree to which the student has achieved the stipulated learning outcomes is assessed. In theoretical courses, the grades used are pass/fail or letter grades from A to F, with A being the highest grade and E the poorest pass grade. The grade F means that the student has failed the examination. The grades pass/fail are used for the assessment of practical training.

Resit and rescheduled examinations are carried out in the same manner as the ordinary examination unless otherwise specified in the course description. In special cases, resit and rescheduled examinations in courses with group examinations may be held as individual examinations.

For examinations where a percentage of the examination papers are selected for assessment by an external examiner, the external examiner's assessment should benefit all the students.

The grade awarded for a written examination can be appealed, cf. Section 11-10 of the Act relating to Universities and University Colleges and the Regulations relating to Studies and Examinations at OsloMet. It is not possible to appeal the grades awarded for oral and practical examinations. In connection with group examinations, the result of an appeal will only have consequences for the candidate(s) who submitted the appeal. The other students will keep their original grade.

External programme supervisor

An external programme supervisor scheme is in place for the programme as required by the Guidelines for Appointment and Use of Examiners at OsloMet. The external supervisor will write an annual report on their work that will be included in the faculty’s area of the university’s quality assurance system.

Suitability assessment

The suitability assessment is a continuous overall assessment that takes place throughout the study programme. A student must be suitable for professional practice in order to receive diploma/certificate for the study programme.

If it appears that a student may pose a potential danger to the lives, physical and mental health, rights or safety of patients, clients and users during practical training or in future professional practice, it should be asked whether the student is suitable for the profession. University staff, personnel in practical training establishment, as well as students can submit a notification of doubt. The students concerned should be informed as soon as possible if such a notification of doubt has been sent. They should receive guidance and advice on how they can improve or be advised to withdraw from the programme.

https://student.oslomet.no/en/suitability-assessment

Suitability assessment is used in specialisation in Public Health Nursing, specialisation in Cancer Nursing and in Interdisciplinary Specialisation in Mental Health and Addiction.

Work requirements

Arbeidskrav

Retten til å avlegge eksamen forutsetter godkjente arbeidskrav og deltakelse i bestemte faglige aktiviteter.

Studentene skal gjennomføre de angitte arbeidskrav som spesifiseres i den enkelte emneplan. Dette skal sikre aktiv studentdeltakelse, tydelige krav til studieinnsats og oppnådd læringsutbytte. Arbeidskrav skal være levert/utført og godkjent innen de fastsatte fristene i undervisningsplanen, hvis ikke trekkes studenten fra eksamen.

Arbeidskrav vurderes til «Godkjent» eller «Ikke godkjent». Alle studenter har to forsøk på et arbeidskrav. En student som får vurderingen «Ikke godkjent», ikke leverer til fristen eller ikke møter til oppsatt tidspunkt for gjennomføring av et arbeidskrav, har brukt ett forsøk, uansett grunn. Studenter som ikke har fått et arbeidskrav godkjent etter to forsøk trekkes fra eksamen i emnet og må ta arbeidskravet på nytt neste gang det arrangeres.

Faglige aktiviteter med krav om 100 prosent deltakelse

Hvilke aktiviteter som har krav til 100 prosent deltakelse framgår av den enkelte emneplanen og er spesifisert i undervisningsplanen. Ved fravær må studenten primært ta igjen undervisningen eller gjennomføre et alternativt faglig opplegg. Nærmere informasjon om arbeidskrav og krav til deltakelse i faglige aktiviteter finnes i den enkelte emneplan.

Krav om 70 prosent tilstedeværelse i all undervisning

Studiet har krav om 70 prosent tilstedeværelse i all undervisning. Dette skal sikre aktiv studentdeltakelse, tydelige krav til studieinnsats og oppnådd læringsutbytte. Studiet er bygget opp rundt arbeids- og undervisningsformer, med kollektive læringsprosesser som ikke kan erstattes med individuelle studieformer. Fravær over 30 prosent medfører at studenten mister retten til å avlegge eksamen i det aktuelle emnet, uansett fraværsgrunn.

Assessment

For å kunne melde seg opp til avsluttende vurdering og presentere masteroppgaven må alle arbeidskrav og undervisning med krav om deltakelse være godkjent. Eksamen i alle underliggende emner i masterstudiet må i tillegg være bestått.

Eksamensform og vurderingsuttrykk fremgår av emneplanene. Studenten er selv ansvarlig for å kontrollere at hun eller han er meldt opp til eksamen.

Studentens rettigheter og plikter framgår av forskrift om studier og eksamen ved OsloMet. Forskriften beskriver blant annet vilkår for ny/utsatt eksamen, klageadgang og hva som regnes som fusk ved eksamen. Studenten er selv ansvarlig for å melde seg opp til eventuell ny/utsatt eksamen.

Som del av kvalitetssikringen av studieprogrammet inngår ekstern sensur ved de ulike vurderingene i utdanningen.

Bestått/Ikke bestått

Bestått: Besvarelsen/presentasjonen viser at kandidaten har bred faglig kunnskap innen hele emnet, og god kunnskap innen de mest sentrale områdene. Bruken av fagterminologi er tilfredsstillende og besvarelsen/presentasjonen er klar og presis. Kandidaten viser også god faglig vurderingsevne og selvstendighet. Kravet om bred kunnskap i emnet betyr at det ikke kan være store kunnskapshull innen pensum. Manglende eller utilfredsstillende besvarelse av enkelte oppgaver kan derfor ikke kompenseres ved svært god besvarelse av andre. Oppgavene kan likevel vektes ulikt under vurderingen, avhengig av hvor sentrale de er for emnet.

Ikke bestått: Besvarelsen/presentasjonen viser at kandidaten har mangelfull kunnskap innen sentrale områder av pensum, eller betydelige kunnskapshull i mer perifere temaer. Kandidaten har ikke tilstrekkelig faglig kunnskap, metodiske ferdigheter eller generell kompetanse til å kunne anvende det oppnådde læringsutbyttet fra emnet på en selvstendig måte.
