Master's Programme in Midwifery Programme description

Studiet er hjemlet i lov om universiteter og høyskoler og i forskrift om studier og eksamen ved OsloMet - storbyuniversitetet. Bestått studium kvalifiserer for graden master i jordmorfag (engelsk: Master in Midwifery) i henhold til § 3 i forskrift om krav til mastergrad.

Studiet bygger på forskrift om nasjonal retningslinje for jordmorutdanning (FOR-2023-06-05-822). Det tilfredsstiller Europaparlamentets rådsdirektiv 2005/36/EF (kvantitetskrav, se under) som beskriver den utøvende jordmorvirksomhet og krav til jordmorutdanning. Til sammen oppfyller studiet de krav som er beskrevet i nasjonale retningslinjer og internasjonale konvensjoner med hensyn til både jordmorutdanning og mastergradsutdanning.

Profesjonstittelen jordmor bygger på den internasjonale definisjonen av jordmor vedtatt av det internasjonale jordmorforbundet (ICM) og det Den internasjonale gynekolog- og obstetrikersammenslutning (FIGO) i 1972 og senere vedtatt i WHO 1992.

Mastergradsstudiet har et omfang på 120 studiepoeng og går på heltid over to år. Fullført utdanning gir grunnlag for å søke autorisasjon som jordmor.

I mastergradsstudiet i jordmorfag utvikles studentens profesjonsfaglige og akademiske kompetanse. Dette skjer gradvis gjennom utdanningen ved at det stilles økende krav til refleksjonsnivå og utvikling fra en deskriptiv til en analytisk og refleksiv holdning. Studenten utvikler sin forståelse og tilegner seg kompetanse til kritisk å kunne vurdere teoretisk kunnskap, praktiske erfaringer, samt egne holdninger og handlinger.

Jordmorutdanningen gir kandidaten den nødvendige kompetansen til å kunne utøve jordmoryrket på en faglig, tillitsskapende, respektfull, reflektert, omsorgsfull, ikke-stigmatiserende og etisk forsvarlig måte. Studenten skal gjennom utdanningen selv ta imot barnet ved minst 40 fødsler og oppfylle andre kvantitetskrav beskrevet i ‘Dokumentasjon av kliniske studier for studenter i mastergrad i jordmorfag’. Utdanningen er praksisnær og forskningsbasert, i tillegg møter den samfunnets krav om kunnskapsbaserte og likeverdige helsetjenester for alle. Det innebærer tilpassing til individuelle ønsker og behov ved å arbeide kultursensitivt, og å bidra til tilrettelagte språklige og kulturelt tilpassede tjenester. I dette inngår kompetanse om samers status som urfolk i Norge og ivaretakelse av deres rettigheter i møtet med jordmødre i helsetjenesten.

Jordmoryrket innebærer å kunne arbeide helsefremmende, forebyggende og behandlingsrettet på individ-, gruppe-, system- og samfunnsnivå. Et overordnet mål for jordmorutdanningen er å sørge for at kandidaten kan bidra til en bærekraftig utvikling av helsetjenesten i takt med globale, demografiske, sosiale, miljømessige og teknologiske endringer.

En jordmor skal kunne arbeide selvstendig og på eget ansvar innen hele det jordmorfaglige ansvarsområdet, og ivareta kunnskapsbaserte verdier og filosofi (Jmf. Quality Maternal and Newborn Care Framework). Kompetanse innen seksuell- og reproduktiv helse og rettigheter i et mangfolds- og livsløpsperspektiv, er en del av dette.

Utdanningen skal bygge på en anerkjennelse av at individer som bærer frem og føder barn kan ha et mangfold av kjønnsidentitet. Der begrepene kvinne og mor brukes i programplanen omfatter det alle individer som bærer frem og føder barn.

Mastergradsstudiet fører fram til autorisasjon som jordmor, inkludert forskrivningsrett for bestemte legemiddel innenfor jordmors ansvarsområde. En jordmor utdannet i Norge får automatisk anerkjennelse av sin utdanning og rett til yrkesutøvelse i EU-land. Jordmorutdanningen skal kvalifisere for arbeid innen klinisk virksomhet, forskning, utdanning, ledelse og forvaltning, i kommunal helse- og omsorgstjeneste, i spesialisthelsetjenesten og i privat virksomhet.

En kandidat med mastergrad i jordmorfag er kvalifisert for å søke opptak til doktorgradsprogrammer, herunder ph.d.-programmet i helsevitenskap ved OsloMet.

Målgruppen er alle som ønsker en mastergrad i jordmorfag, både for yrkesutøvelse som jordmor og som utgangspunkt for videre studier. Kandidater med minoritetsbakgrunn oppfordres til å søke.

Opptak til jordmorutdanningen forutsetter at kandidatene har bachelorutdanning i sykepleie eller tilsvarende, norsk autorisasjon som sykepleier og minst ett års relevant yrkespraksis som sykepleier. Søkere som takker ja til tilbud om studieplass må fremlegge politiattest. Bruk av ansiktsdekkende bekledning er ikke forenlig med gjennomføring av studiet.

Opptak til mastergradsstudiet i jordmorfag krever karakter C som regnes ut etter et vektet snitt av grunnutdanningen. Det gis 0,5 tilleggspoeng for søkere med minoritetsbakgrunn. For å få tilleggspoeng må du kunne dokumentere at du eller begge foreldrene dine er født i Afrika, Asia (inkludert Tyrkia) eller Latin-Amerika.

The Master's Degree Programme in Civil Engineering is a full-time course of study over two years (120 credits). The programme represents a continuation and specialisation in relation to the Bachelor's Degree Programme in Civil Engineering

The master's degree programme is designed to meet the national conditions for use of the Norwegian term “sivilingeniør” added to the master´s title.

The programme provides in-depth study and specialisations in the fields of structural engineering, building technology, transport infrastructure engineering, geotechnical engineering and smart water process and infrastructure engineering.

Structural engineering concerns the analysis, calculation and design of load-bearing structures and structural systems.

Building technology concerns the analysis, performance and sustainable design of buildings, including facades and building envelopes.

Transport infrastructure engineering concerns the analysis, calculation and design of modern and future-oriented infrastructure systems as well as smart monitoring and management of existing infrastructure systems.

Geotechnical engineering concerns the properties of soil (sand, silt and clay) in terms of construction technology, and the analysis, calculation, design and monitoring of foundations, excavations and fill, retaining structures, and the assessment of slope stability and the risk of land slides.

Smart water engineering concerns the design, monitoring, analysis, control and risk management in urban water processes and hydraulic infrastructure.

As for challenges to sustainable development, climate change in the form of increased average temperatures, more precipitation and extreme weather exposes buildings, infrastructures, offshore structures and other installations to greater and more unpredictable stresses. At the same time, society and the authorities place increasing demands on environmentally friendly and sustainable design in the built environment. For the purpose of dimensioning and designing new buildings and infrastructures for the future, we need candidates with engineering expertise at master's degree level (engineers) in the fields of civil engineering, who are also knowledgeable about climate and environmental issues relating to the field.

Candidates holding a master's degree in Civil Engineering have expertise that is in high demand in both the private and public sector. The most relevant employers are consulting engineering firms, contractors, construction clients, municipalities and research institutes. The Master's Degree in Civil Engineering can also qualify students for further studies at the doctoral degree level.

Students who complete the programme will be awarded the degree “Master´s Degree in Civil Engineering”, with one of the following programme options:

-Structural Engineering

-Building Technology

-Transport Infrastructure Engineering

-Geotechnical Engineering

-Smart Water Engineering

The master's degree is awarded in accordance with Section 3 of the Regulations concerning Requirements for the Master's Degrees, issued by the Ministry of Education and Research. Graduates from the programme can use the additional Norwegian designation sivilingeniør.

The master's degree programme is aimed at candidates with at least a three-year bachelor's degree in civil engineering, who want a solid professional and academic extension to their education in the fields of structural engineering, building technology, transport infrastructure engineering, geotechnical engineering or smart water process and infrastructure engineering.

The programme is also suitable for candidates holding a degree in mechanical engineering, marine engineering, chemical engineering or other engineering fields.

Studiets arbeids- og undervisningsformer er bygd rundt et sosiokulturelt læringsperspektiv. Det innebærer at studentene deltar og bidrar i et læringsfelleskap der både medstudenter, faglærere og andre er viktige for ens egen læring. Gjennom hele studiet anvendes arbeidsformer som fremmer kunnskapsbasert praksis, ved at studentene integrerer forskningskunnskap, erfaringskunnskap og brukermedvirkning, som bidrar til at studentene stimuleres til aktivt å søke relevante og pålitelige kunnskapskilder.

Gjennom hele utdanningen vektlegges arbeids- og undervisningsformer som fremmer integrering av teoretisk og praktisk kunnskap.

Forelesninger

Forelesninger blir benyttet for å introdusere fagstoff, gi en oversikt og trekke fram hovedelementer og synliggjøre sammenhenger innenfor tema, og samtidig formidle relevante problemstillinger.

Gruppearbeid

Gruppearbeid anvendes som pedagogisk metode for å fremme samarbeid mellom studentene, understøtte læringen av fagstoff og gi trening i samarbeid og samspill, som er nødvendig kompetanse i yrkesutøvelsen.

Seminarer

Det arrangeres seminarer der ulike tematikker diskuteres for å stimulere hverandres læringsprosess, tydeliggjøre egen fagforståelse og utvikle samarbeidsevne. I seminarene får studentene, gjennom refleksjon, ferdigheter i faglig formulering sammen med medstudenter og faglærer. Alle seminar er obligatoriske.

Skriftlige oppgaver og veiledning

Gjennom skriftlige oppgaver og masteroppgaven skal studentene utarbeide problemstillinger for oppgaver som de arbeider med over tid, enten individuelt eller i samarbeid med andre.

Oppøving i ferdigheter i akademisk skriving står sentralt i alle deler av studiet. Veiledning er obligatorisk i arbeidet med skriftlige oppgaver som oppgitt i emneplan. Oppgavene kan skrives på engelsk eller skandinavisk (norsk, svensk eller dansk).

Selvstudier og studentsamarbeid Noen temaer inngår ikke i organisert undervisning, og det forventes at studenten tilegner seg denne kunnskapen ved selvstudier av pensum og nettstudier. Studentene oppfordres til å ta initiativ til å delta aktivt i kollokviegrupper for å fremme læring.

The programme is a full-time programme over two years that consists of a lecture-based component with a scope of 90 credits and an independent project - the master's thesis - with a scope of 30 credits.

Content

The master's degree programme is profession-oriented and adapted to meet the building construction and infrastructure industry and society's need for up-to-date, forward-looking expertise in structural engineering, building technology, transport infrastructure engineering, geotechnical engineering and smart water process and infrastructure engineering.

Structural engineering concerns the analysis, calculation and design of load-bearing structures and structural systems. Bridges, quays, offshore installations and other large building structures are exposed to great loads combined with environmental and climate impacts. The Finite Element Method (FEM) is used to determine load effects (stress and strain) in the different parts of such complex structures. The study programme focuses on providing the students with solid, theoretical knowledge and applied skills in linear and non-linear FEM analysis, design of structures and structural systems, and service life dimensioning and service life extension of structures. Theory and applied skills are taught in the courses MABY4100 Finite Element Method in Structural Analysis, MABY4400 Structural Analysis and Design, MABY4800 Advanced Materials and Technologies for Sustainable Structures and MABY4500 Sustainable Concrete Structures. Behaviour of structures under dynamic loads is covered in the course MABY5200 Structural Dynamics.

Building technology concerns the analysis, calculation and design of the body of the building, including facades and building envelopes. Climate change and increased focus on resource use and environmental impacts thereby also entail a greater focus on the choice of materials and climate adaptation in connection with the design of buildings. The study programme focuses on providing the students with more detailed knowledge of building physics processes, principles and methods, and an understanding of the importance of the choice of building materials and components in the design of energy-efficient, environmentally friendly, climate-resilient buildings. Here, life-cycle analyses (LCA) and sustainability assessments are important tools for decisions on the choice of materials and building solutions. Theory and applied skills are taught in the courses MABY4200 Building Physics and Climate Adaptation of Buildings, MABY4700 Life Cycle Assessment for Built Enviroment, MABY4600 Sustainable Building Design and MABY4900 Timber Building Engineering. Computational fluid dynamics in and around buildings as well as structures are covered in the course MAEN4300 Fluid Dynamics and Computational Methods.

Transport infrastructure engineering concerns the analysis, calculation, design and management of transport infrastructure systems. Roadways and railways are typical transport infrastructure systems and they must be well designed and managed to provide safe and resilient support to traffic that is ever-changing with the advancement in the transport technology and increase in societal demand for multi-modal future-oriented transportation forms. Besides, existing transport infrastructure systems also need to be taken care of to ensure safe functionality. This specialization is built upon theory and applied skills in the field of transport infrastructure engineering. the courses cover a range of topics, including SMUA4200 Traffic Engineering and Intelligent Transport Systems, MABY5030 Advanced Pavement Design and Rehabilitation and MABY5040 Advanced Railway Engineering. In addition, important knowledge and skills of sustainability assessment are offered in the common course of MABY4700 Life Cycle Assessment for Built Environment and students have the possibilities to also choose courses within relevant structural and geotechnical engineering topics.

Geotechnical engineering concerns Engineering behaviours of earth materials such as soils and rocks to find solutions for various engineering problems. It is typically linked with hydrological, geological, and geophysical engineering. Geotechnical engineering is not only applicable to civil engineering but also to mining engineering, petroleum engineering, and offshore structures and foundations. Compared with other civil engineering directions, the tasks of a geotechnical engineer comprise more site-based field investigation and laboratory testing to classify relevant properties of geo materials with large variations to engineering design. This specification is fundamentally built upon the deep understanding of soil mechanics which will be taught in the course, MABY5410 Advanced Soil Mechanics. This course will provide a conceptual model for soil classification, cover soil mechanics for simple but widely applied models to the advanced framework and also highlight their engineering applications and typical state of art technics applied in this field. After this course, MABY5420 Geotechnical Site Investigation and Ground Modelling, MABY5440 Geotechnical Models and Simulations, MABY5460 Environmental Geotechnics, MABY5450 Urban Geotechnics, and MABY5430 Foundation Solutions will follow. This study specialisation provides students with abilities to handle tasks through all phases of geotechnical designs; from site investigation and soil testing, to proposed engineering solutions, to design validation at the end, based on solid theoretical knowledge.

Smart water engineering concerns the analysis, design and management of urban water resource processes and infrastructure. Water is an essential resource with strong links to energy and food production and urban water systems represent one of the largest water pollutant sources globally. Implementing state-of-the-art and innovative technology rather than conventional resource intensive ones is key to adapt in the future. As we move towards a hyper-connected urban infrastructure, data collection, decision support and process control form the need for future practitioners within smart water process and infrastructure. This specialization extends on the existing programme in civil engineering, offering the common courses of MABY4700 Life Cycle Assessment for Built Environment, MAEN4300 Fluid Dynamics and Computational Methods, SMUA4600 Geophysical Information Systems, MABY5050 Smart Infrastructure and Asset management and MABY5060 Managing Infrastructure Projects. The study specialisation focuses on providing the students with solid, theoretical knowledge and applied skills in the field of smart water process and infrastructure taught in the courses MABY5310 Urban pipe Systems, MABY5320 Bioprocess Technology, MABY5330 Water Resource Recovery Technology, MABY5340 Water Infrastructure, Trenches and No-Dig, MABY5350 Sensor Networks and Model Based Decisions Support and MABY5360 Design and Optimisation Projects.

Students are enrolled to one of the study directions from semester one.

Projects in the built environment are increasingly complex and interdisciplinary. The study programme focuses on teaching students how to use advanced computer programs and simulation tools to solve complex problems relating to their study directions.

The study programme also aims to qualify candidates with the competence to participate in research work in the field. All the courses taught in the second semester therefore include an element of research at different levels. The course MAEN5300 Research Methods and Ethics underpins the master's thesis and provides an introduction to research methods, ethics, and academic writing and dissemination of results.

The master's thesis will give the students the opportuinity to apply their knowledge and skills to relevant issues through more comprehensive project work. MABY5900, the master's thesis, is an independent, supervised research or development project in the core areas of the field, and represents further specialisation in either structural engineering, building technology, transport infrastructure engineering, geotechnical engineering or smart water process and infrastructure engineering.

The structure of the programme

The master's degree programme consists of compulsory courses, elective courses and a master's thesis. The course portfolio is composed so that the compulsory courses ensure academic and professional breadth, at the same time as the students are given an opportunity for in-depth study and specialisation through elective courses and the master's thesis.

Specialisation in the field of ‘structural engineering’ - SE requires the students to choose, in addition to the mandatory courses:

In the second semester, the following two courses:

All courses in the `smart water engineering´ - SWAPIE specialisation are mandatory, with no elective available for students to select.

In order for students to be formally assigned a supervisor for the master's thesis, all exams from first year of the study programme must be passed.

Students are encouraged to contact private and public enterprises in the region for the purpose of gaining practical training and experience in the fields through a summer job or similar, and to establish cooperation on project assignments.

The work and teaching methods in the programme includes lectures, exercise sessions, computer exercise sessions, seminars, project work, group work, presentations, inspections and excursions, laboratory work and discussions. The scheduled study activities shall be motivating and inspiring for the students and induce non-organised academic work. The work methods are intended to stimulate cooperation, own activity, reflection and fresh thinking.

To work as a consultant engineer or researcher requires a high level of expertise in the use of advanced computer programs and simulation tools (ICT tools) for problem-solving. Computer exercises and tasks that require the use of advanced ICT tools are therefore one of the main work methods used in the study programme.

Seminars in cooperation with the construction industry will shed light on the complexity of building projects and provide a more comprehensive understanding of key topics in the study programme. Contact with business and industry through external lecturers, seminars, inspections and excursions, in addition to ordinary tuition, will give the students a relevant and motivational approach throughout the study programme.

Research and teaching are well integrated throughout the study programme. The teaching is constantly updated to encompass new knowledge, and research articles are part of the syllabus in many of the courses. Furthermore, the students will participate in research-related discussions and be included in ongoing research and development through projects that are part of the study programme.

Project-based learning relating to engineering tasks is used to give the students practice in work on complex issues. The study programme will prepare the students for work methods used in the construction industry, through group work and project assignments in cooperation with the construction industry. The projects are intended to develop the students ability to formulate and analyse research questions using scientific methods. Projects are normally carried out in groups, and the students will also thereby develop their ability to listen to others, exchange knowledge and discuss solutions in cooperation with others. Project work shall culminate in reports written on the basis of a template for scholarly articles/reports. The specialisation course (elective course) in the third semester includes a project where the students are to work on a given issue relating to challenges in the construction industry.

The master's thesis is a piece of independent research or development work conducted by the student in one of the key topics of the study programme. Each student will be assigned an internal supervisor, who will 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. Seminars with supervisors and fellow students will develop each student's ability to critically assess and discuss their own and other students work. The thesis shall be a dissertation of a scientific nature (e.g. monography, research paper, etc.) based on research principles and methods or a project work (e.g startup, software, degital or physical objects, etc.).

Both the language of instruction and the course literature are in English, which means that the study programme is well suited for international students and student mobility. The study programme is structured so that it is possible for the students to take one semester abroad, in the third or fourth semester.

Students can gain approval and recognition of up to 30 credits on application. Students who go on an exchange in the fourth semester will write their master's thesis with a supervisor from the host institution.

OsloMet is part of the Erasmus programme for student exchange and has entered into several Erasmus+ agreements with relevant universities and university colleges. OsloMet has a dedicated web page with supplementary information about student exchanges: https://student.oslomet.no/utveksling-tkd

Required coursework means compulsory assignments or activities that must be approved within a given deadline in order for students to be able to take the exam. The coursework requirements in this study programme are linked to written assignments and compulsory attendance. The coursework requirements are described in more detail in the individual course descriptions.

Coursework requirements are set in order to promote the student's progress and development and to ensure his/her participation in necessary elements of the programme. Required coursework can also be set to ensure that students achieve a learning outcome that cannot be tested in an exam.

Required coursework is assessed as approved or not approved. In the event of delays in study progress, previously approved coursework remains valid for two years, provided that the course has not changed.

Valid absence documented by e.g. a medical certificate does not exempt students from meeting the coursework requirements. Students who fail to meet the coursework requirements within the deadline due to illness or for other documented valid reasons should as far as possible be given a new chance before the registration deadline for the exam. This must be agreed with the person responsible for the course on a case-by-case basis. If another attempt at meeting a coursework requirement is not possible because of the nature of the subject/course, the student must be prepared to meet the coursework requirements on the next possible occasion. This may result in delayed progress in the programme.

Assessment and grading shall take place in accordance with the provisions on assessment relating to Universities and University Colleges and the Regulations relating to Studies and Examinations at OsloMet.

The forms of assessment used shall promote learning and document that the students' competence is adequate in relation to the applicable learning outcome. The forms of assessment used in this study programme include supervised written exams, oral exams, individual and group project assignments and portfolio assessments. Assessment of the master's thesis and the oral presentation of the thesis come in addition to this.

The forms of assessment and grade scale are described in more detail in the individual course descriptions. In connection with the final assessment in the course, a grade scale with grades from A to E for pass (A being the highest) and F for fail is used, or the assessment pass/fail.

The master's degree programme is profession-oriented, which means that students are to a significant extent assessed on the basis of their ability to solve problems, and on whether their presentations of solutions meet technical, academic and ethical requirements. Project assignments with reports and presentations are therefore one of the dominant assessment forms used in the study programme.

The tuition takes place in English, and assignments/exams will also be in English. Students may, by agreement with the person responsible for the course, submit assignments in Norwegian (Scandinavian). The assignment given in the elective course (specialisation course) in the third semester and the master's thesis should be in English.

For courses where the assessment is based on both a project assignment and a written/oral exam, students must pass both the project assignment and the exam to be awarded a pass grade in the course.

Oral exams shall be assessed by two examiners, as this form of assessment cannot be appealed.

The master's thesis will be assessed by an external and an internal examiners. In addition to submitting a written report, students must also give an oral presentation of the thesis to the examiners and supervisor(s). The examiners will set the grade for the master's thesis after the oral presentation and questioning. Exams and portfolios that are only assessed by internal examiners shall regularly be selected for external assessment. Guildeline for master's theses at the Faculty can be found here: Retningslinjer for masteroppgaver ved Fakultet for teknologi, kunst og design - Student - minside (oslomet.no)

Students have the right to demand an explanation for and to appeal against a grade awarded and/or formal errors in connection with exams in accordance with Section 5-3 of the Act relating to Universities and University Colleges.

In connection with portfolio assessments, students can normally only appeal against the final grade awarded for the portfolio, and only if it contains verifiable components. If the portfolio assessment cannot be appealed, two examiners are used.

Students must register for resit/rescheduled exams themselves. Resit/rescheduled exams are normally organised jointly, early in the following semester. Oral exams can also be used in the event of resit/rescheduled exams.

After completing the programme, students will be awarded a diploma showing all their final grades (final assessments) in the courses that form the basis for the degree. The title of the master's thesis will also be included on the diploma.
