This master's degree programme gives students a broad understanding of Nordic and global social problems and in-depth knowledge of the fields of welfare models and systems. All the courses are designed from a Nordic and global perspective, reflected in the curriculum. Class discussion, work requirements, group work and examinations will reflect the Nordic and global orientation of the courses.

Students have the opportunity to travel abroad in the third semester of the program, including to our international partner universities. Students are encouraged to collect data for their thesis while they are abroad or in their home country.

The faculty has partner organisations abroad which will be able to assist students with data collection and analysis. Students can also choose three elective topics to be taken in an institution outside of the program. Courses taken outside of the program must be approved by the program coordinator before semester start.

Information regarding studies and data collection abroad will be disseminated during the first two semesters.

Each course concludes with a final examination which takes the form of either a written examination, a written home assignment, a semester paper or a portfolio. Students may use a spelling dictionary, as well as a bilingual dictionary during written school examinations. All examinations are graded by an internal examiner. In addition, an external examiner will evaluate at least 25 per cent of examinations, which will form the basis for the internal examiners grading.

Students who are not satisfied with their grades have the right to submit an appeal, whereupon examinations will be re-evaluated by two new examiners (one internal and the other external). Note that when appealing, students risk receiving a lower grade than the grade awarded for the initial examination.The Master Thesis will be evaluated by both an internal and an external examiner. Neither examiner shall be involved in the supervision of the Master thesis in question.

Students in the Department of Social Work, Child Welfare and Social Policy must use the APA style when citing sources and referencing.

A grading scale from A to F will normally be used in assessment. A grade of pass ranges from A to E, while F is a fail. In some courses students will receive a grade of either pass or fail. In this case, pass will be equivalent to grade C or better. See the description of each course for further information on the use of the grading system.
