Programme history

Content and structure

Different forms of assessment are used in the programme that are adapted to the learning outcomes of the different courses. The forms of assessment used are intended to support learning and document that the students’ competence is adequate in relation to the applicable learning outcomes. The students will receive advice and supervision and have their performance assessed during the programme. It is important and necessary to assess students’ knowledge and skills often, so that the students receive feedback on their performance is in line with the programme’s requirements and whether they have achieved the learning outcomes.

The assessment of exams and clinical 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 – Oslo Metropolitan University, and the Guidelines for Appointment and Use of Examiners at OsloMet – Oslo Metropolitan University.

Passing the trade exam is one of the conditions for being granted authorisation as a general nurse. On 5 June 2019, the Directorate of Health decided that students who complete the programme at OsloMet meet this additional requirement by taking SKOMP3000.

Exam papers and coursework must be written in Norwegian or another Scandinavian language.

AssessmentThe grades used are pass/fail or a grade scale with letter grades from A to F, where A is the highest grade, E is the poorest pass grade and F is a fail. In connection with group exams, all students in the group are awarded the same grade.

Transcript of gradesAll grades will be included in the transcript of grades. The practical examination in nursing must be completed in order to pass the programme and be awarded 60 credits.

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

Appeals against gradesGrades awarded for written exams can be appealed. It is not possible to appeal the grades awarded for oral and practical exams. In connection with group exams, 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.

Suitability assessment

The suitability assessment is a continuous overall assessment that takes place throughout the study programme. If a student shows signs of posing a potential threat to patients’ and/or colleagues’ physical and mental health, rights and safety, questions must be raised about whether the person is fit to practise the profession. Staff from the university, the professional field and fellow students may all submit a notification of doubt. Students must be informed as soon as possible that the notification has been submitted. They will be given supervision and advice on how to improve or be advised to leave the programme.

The aim is to assess whether the students have the professional and personal qualifications required to work as a nurse. More detailed provisions about the assessment of suitability can be found here.

Transfer discussion

If a student or subject teacher/contact teacher reports a need for a transfer discussion, an interview can be called before the next course. In some cases, the head of studies and a representative of the Section for Academic Affairs may also attend.

The purpose of the transfer discussion is to clarify how the student can implement their learning outcomes in the best possible way in the next course, by facilitating various learning challenges and guidance needs.
