Introduction
After completing the programme, the graduate should have the following overall learning outcomes defined in terms of knowledge, skills and general competence:
Knowledge
The graduate has
- advanced knowledge and understanding of social science theories of relevance to the child welfare service’s sphere of activity
- in-depth knowledge of the child welfare service’s heterogeneous knowledge base and interdisciplinary perspectives
- in-depth knowledge of different analytical perspectives on professional practice, institutions and social policy interventions
- specialised knowledge of the exercise of discretionary judgement involved in child welfare assessments and decisions
Skills
The graduate can
- analyse and take a critical approach to different sources of knowledge and use them when making decisions in the best interests of the child
- carry out comprehensive care assessments by analysing and assessing the child’s best interests in light of context, relevant theories and methods
- analyse and reflect on the child welfare service’s complex remit and function in society
- carry out professional child welfare work in a metropolitan context
- analyse and assess methodological procedures for exploring the subject area
General competence
The graduate can
- apply research-based knowledge in areas relating to child welfare work
- critically assess social policy measures and the implementation of (new) work models and work methods that affect children and families
- critically assess the opportunities and limitations of research-based knowledge in the field of child welfare
- analyse ethical issues related to research, innovation and development in the field of child welfare
Target group
The programme is offered as a full-time course of study over two years and a part-time course of study over three years. The full-time workload is 30 ECTS credits per semester.
In addition to the master’s thesis, the programme option comprises eight compulsory courses and one elective course. The courses build on each other. It is therefore recommended that students take the courses in the order in which they are listed in the table. The master's thesis is an independent work of 30 ECTS credits. Ongoing research projects that the student can link up to will be presented in the second semester at the Mastertorg. In the second semester, the student will prepare a project outline for the master's thesis and then be assigned a supervisor. The master's thesis is submitted in the fourth semester.
Students must have passed all the programme courses before they can submit their master’s thesis for assessment.
Admission requirements
In the third semester, students take four weeks of practical training at their own workplace. OsloMet is responsible for organising a placement for students who do not have a workplace, as well as for follow-up of the practical training scheme and approval of practical training establishments, which must be done before the students can begin their practical training.
Reference is made to the Regulations relating to Studies and Examinations at OsloMet - Oslo Metropolitan University, and in particular Chapter 5. Practice.
Learning outcomes
The programme should impart knowledge of international matters of relevance to children’s development and the legal status of children and parents. Several of the courses deal with international matters with a bearing on the development of social problems as well as possible solutions to these problems. The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child is a document that forms the basis for discussion. Different ways of understanding the concept of the child’s best interests are analysed in light of cultural diversity. Child welfare services are also considered in light of majority and minority perspectives relating to othering, among other things. These perspectives are represented both in the course literature and in the topics taught.
Teaching and learning methods
Exams are held in each course, and different forms of assessment are used. The form of assessment, assessment, examiner arrangements and aids permitted for each course are specified in each course description.
Practical training
Suitability assessment
The Master programme in Child Welfare Work is covered by the Regulations on suitability assessment in higher education adopted by the Ministry of Education and Research.
A suitability assessment is a comprehensive assessment of the student’s academic and personal qualifications for work as a health care or social worker. More information about the suitability assessment can be found on the intranet for OsloMet students.
Work requirements
Et arbeidskrav er en oppgave, et prosjektarbeid, en framføring, en praktisk øvelse eller annet studiearbeid som studenten måutføre og få godkjent for å kunne fremstille seg til eksamen.
Arbeidskrav skal være levert innen fastsatte frister. Studenter som på grunn av spesielle årsaker ikke leverer innen fristen, kan få forlenget frist. Ny frist må i hvert enkelt tilfelle avtales med faglærer.
Et ikke-godkjent arbeidskrav kan omarbeides og leveres til ny godkjenning ytterligere én gang. Studenten må da selv avtale ny tid for innlevering av det aktuelle arbeidskravet med faglærer. Studenter som ikke leverer/utfører arbeidskrav innen fristen og som ikke har dokumentert årsak eller avtalt med faglærer, får ingen nye forsøk og vil derfor måtte utsette studiet med ett år.
Arbeidskravene utarbeides og lagres i Klassenotatblokker i OneNote, og innleveres i egne innleveringsrom i Canvas.
Alle arbeidskrav som er synliggjort i emnebeskrivelsene må være godkjent før eksamen kan gjennomføres.
Krav om tilstedeværelse
Studiet bygger på aktiv deltakelse, i undervisningsøvelser og samarbeid med andre studenter og i praksis på praksisskolen. Teoriundervisningen er forberedelse til praksis, og praktisk øvelse er forutsetning for teorien. Det stilles derfor krav til tilstedeværelse i hele studiet dersom ikke annet er eksplisitt bestemt og avtalt med faglærer (for eksempel ved studiedager til individuelt arbeid).
I alle emner er det krav om tilstedeværelse i 80% av undervisningstiden. I tilfeller der studentenes fravær av spesielle årsaker er større enn 20 %, kan faglærer, der denne mener det er nødvendig og hensiktsmessig, pålegge studenten et alternativt opplegg for å tilfredsstille vilkårene for å gå opp til eksamen. Se nærmere under det enkelte emne
Assessment
Bestemmelser om eksamen er gitt i lov om universiteter og høyskoler, forskrift om studier og eksamen ved OsloMet - storbyuniversitetet.
Det kan klages over karakterfastsetting og på formelle feil i samsvar med bestemmelsene i lov om universiteter og høyskoler, jf. også forskrift om studier og eksamen ved OsloMet - storbyuniversitetet.
Studentens rettigheter og plikter ved evt. ny/utsatt eksamen framgår av forskrift om studier og eksamen ved OsloMet - storbyuniversitetet. Studenter er selv ansvarlige for å melde seg opp til eventuell ny/utsatt eksamen.
