Target group
Opptakskravet er bachelorgrad innen barnehagelærerutdanning eller tilsvarende pedagogisk utdanning på bachelornivå, jfr. Barnehagelovens bestemmelser §§ 24 og 25. Studentene skal i løpet av studiet gjennomføre oppgaver og arbeidskrav som tar utgangspunkt i refleksjon, kunnskapsdeling i profesjonsfellesskap og utprøving på eget arbeidssted. Det er derfor et krav at studenten arbeider i barnehage, eller har kontakt med en barnehage der det er mulig å gjennomføre arbeidskrav som er del av videreutdanningen, under hele studiet. Dette dokumenteres med en bekreftelse fra arbeidsgiver, eller barnehagen der arbeidskrav skal gjennomføres.
Med tilsvarende pedagogisk utdanning på bachelornivå menes følgende utdanninger i kombinasjon med tilleggsutdanning i barnehagepedagogikk (60 studiepoeng):
- grunnskolelærer for trinn 1–7 eller tidligere allmennlærerutdanning
- faglærer (fireårig faglærerutdanning i praktiske og estetiske fag eller treårig faglærerutdanning som gir kompetanse for tilsetting fra 1. klassetrinn)
- spesialpedagog, barnevernspedagog eller kateket
- Steinerhøyskolens bachelorutdanning i førskolepedagogikk eller Steinerhøyskolens lærerutdanning med bachelorgrad i steinerpedagogikk
Veiledet praksisopplæring knyttet til arbeid med barn må inngå som en integrert del av utdanningen.
For lærere er det krav om undervisningskompetanse fra 1. trinn i grunnskolen, eller tilsvarende kompetanse fra utdanning fra utlandet.
Dersom det er flere kvalifiserte søkere enn ledige studieplasser, rangeres søkere etter karakterpoeng fra bachelorutdanning. Søkere som har fått innvilget tilretteleggingsmidler fra Utdanningsdirektoratet (Udir), får 5 tilleggspoeng.
Søkere med morsmål fra land utenfor Norden må dokumentere norsk og engelsk tilsvarende kravet til generell studiekompetanse (samordnaopptak.no).
Fra søkere med utenlandsk barnehagelærerutdanning eller lærerutdanning kreves godkjenning av NOKUT (fra og med 2020) eller Utdanningsdirektoratet/Udir (til og med 2019). For mer informasjon, se NOKUTS nettsider (nokut.no).
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 addiction as 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/MAERN4070 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, 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/MAERN4070, 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/MAERN5900) 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/MAERN4070 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.
