Studiet er tilrettelagt for personer som ønsker å bruke teater og drama som et estetisk kommunikasjonsfag og forankre dette både i teaterkunsten og i pedagogikken.

Generell studiekompetanse/realkompetanse.

Utdanningen trenger politiattest. Politiattest må legges frem ved studiestart.

Arbeidet med masteroppgaven innledes med et seminar der mulige temaer for masteroppgaven diskuteres og ønske om veileder drøftes. I tillegg arrangeres det to temaspesifikke avhandlingsseminarer der studentene legger frem deler av oppgaven, og får kommentarer og tilbakemeldinger fra lærere og opponenter (ett i høstsemesteret og ett i vårsemesteret). Seminarene finner sted ved fysisk fremmøte på campus.

Det gis tilbud om 10 timer veiledning pr. masteroppgave. I tillegg får studenten(e) veiledning i forbindelse med masteroppgaveseminarene. En veiledningsavtale mellom student og veileder skal senest være inngått før første materoppgaveseminar.

Studenten mottar veiledning og oppfølgning ved veiledningsmøter med tildelt veileder og i forbindelse med avhandlingsseminarer.

Dersom tidligere innlevert arbeid inngår i masteroppgaven, er det viktig å være bevisst på eventuell risiko for selvplagiering. Vi minner om viktigheten av å sette seg inn i reglement om gjenbruk av eget arbeid. Mer detaljert informasjon vil du finne i canvas.

Bachelorstudiet i drama- og teaterkommunikasjon er i stor grad basert på at læringen foregår sammen med andre. En slik læreprosess krever samvær og samarbeid over tid. Det forutsettes derfor at studentene er til stede og aktivt medvirkende i undervisning og gruppearbeid.

I enkelte emner kan undervisningen bli gitt på engelsk.

Det benyttes ulike arbeids- og dokumentasjonsformer i studiet. Teoretisk stoff vil stort sett bli formidlet gjennom forelesninger, seminarer og praktisk eksemplifisering. Arbeid med uttrykk og samspill foregår i praktiske øvinger. Dramametoder vil bli utprøvd med medstudenter og i praksisperioder. Forestillinger/framvisninger foregår i prosjektarbeidsform med veiledning og instruksjon.

Studentene må også kunne bruke ulike søkeverktøy for å anvende forskning som grunnlag for faget, dokumentere og evaluere eget arbeid og finne kilder til oppgaver og prosjektarbeid.

Det blir utarbeidet undervisningsplaner til alle prosjekt og forelesningsrekker med utgangspunkt i emneplaner. Undervisningsplanene gir nærmere informasjon om blant annet undervisning med krav om tilstedeværelse, pensum og støttelitteratur. Disse blir utlevert ved oppstart av emner/studier.

Differentiation is made between clinical training, observational practice and skills training.

Clinical training

Clinical training is supervised and carried out in the ambulance service in interaction with patients and next of kin.

Clinical training makes up 45 credits and takes place in the fourth, fifth and sixth semesters of the programme. The clinical training is organised in periods of 12 weeks (PARAPRA1) and 15 weeks (PARAPRA20), respectively.

The clinical courses are intended to give the student competence in integrating theoretical and research-based knowledge with clinical knowledge. In practical situations, the student also gains knowledge of patients' and next of kin's user knowledge. The field of practice is an important qualification arena for developing action competence. Students will continuously alternate between theoretical in-depth studies, simulation and skills training at the university and clinical training in the field of practice in order to develop paramedic action competence and response skills.

Clinical training is supervised. The university's contact lecturer, practical training supervisor and student supervisor at the practical training institution collaborate on facilitating learning situations in clinical training. In addition to individual supervision, students may also be supervised in groups.

The student, in consultation with the contact lecturer at the university, the practical training supervisor or student supervisor at the practical training institution, shall define his/her own learning objectives;for each practical training course. The objectives must be in line with the learning outcomes for the programme and the learning situations at the relevant practical training institution. The students will be given a practical training document before they start the supervised clinical training. This document contains an overview of all the relevant procedures/learning situations the students are expected to get through by the end of the three practical training courses. The document also contains a midway and final assessment, and it will function as a cooperation document between the student, clinical supervisor and the university. The student updates the practical training document on a continuous basis to document the procedures/learning situations he/she has done/experienced, which documents the learning outcomes and conscious choices of learning situations.

It is the students' responsibility to actively seek supervision and be prepared for all meetings with supervisors and assessment interviews. The student must at all times comply with the rules of the institution where the practical training takes place.

Attendance at clinical training totals an average of 30 hours a week. Shifts are to be planned for these periods. Depending on the practical training institution, the student will work day, evening, night and weekend shifts during a practical training period, and he/she should, as a rule, follow the practical training supervisor's shift arrangements if relevant.

Since the students may experience traumatic and demanding situations during their practical training, procedures for debriefing personnel in the ambulance service (emotional first aid and peer support - EFOK) have been established to provide support. It is also the students' responsibility to contact the supervisor, contact lecturer or course coordinator if they experience situations that they need help to process. The student may also be referred to university's health service. The students shall sign a consent form at the start of the programme confirming that they have been informed of the above.

Observational practice

The student must have completed up to 12 days of observational practice by the end of the programme. Observational practice is not supervised, but the student must describe and reflect on his/her experiences in a reflection note.

Simulation and skills training

Simulation and skills training makes up a total of 15 credits, divided between all the theoretical courses except PARA1500 and PARA3900.

Skills are personal knowledge that the individual student develops through trial and own experience. This means that the students practise and reflect on skills that are important in paramedic practice. Skills training and student exercises can be carried out in the university's simulation centre/skills training facilities and in cooperating health trusts in the specialist health service.

At the start of the programme, the students must sign a document stating that they will comply with the guidelines for working in the simulation and skills centre (SF). This means, among other things, that students must be given a demonstration of all equipment before they use it.

Certificate of competence for driving emergency vehicles

Students must pass both a theoretical and a practical test in driving emergency vehicles in order to complete the programme. The students receive theoretical and practical training in groups as a separate course with a duration of approximately three weeks during the second and third years of the programme. All students must have taken the theoretical and practical tests before completing the course PARAPRA20 in the sixth semester.

The tests are organised and assessed by the Norwegian Public Roads Administration.;OsloMet covers expenses related to theoretical and practical examination up to three (3) times. Attempts beyond this must be paid for by the student himself. In order for the student to receive a diploma from OsloMet, the theoretical and practical test must be passed no later than one year after the student has had his third and last attempt covered by OsloMet.

Please note that students must meet the requirements stipulated in Section 6 of the emergency vehicle regulations before the start of training. Among other things, this means that the student must a) document that he/she meets the medical requirements for a category 3 driver's licence, b) have reached 20 years of age, and c) have held a class B driver's licence continuously for the past two years.

For more information about the training requirements and the practical and theoretical tests in emergency vehicle driving, reference is made to the regulations relating to training, testing and competence in driving emergency vehicles (the emergency vehicle regulations - in Norwegian only): https://lovdata.no/dokument/SF/forskrift/2009-06-12-637

Innholdet i studiet skal belyses i et internasjonalt perspektiv og yrkesfaglærerutdanning i bygg- og anleggsteknikk har tilrettelagt for studentutveksling i 3. til 5. semester. For eksempel i yrkesfaglig praksis og/eller pedagogisk praksis.

OsloMet - Oslo Metropolitan University has established cooperation with universities and university colleges in and outside Europe, and is a member of different academic networks. Students can apply to take parts of the programme abroad, preferably at institutions that OsloMet cooperates with. Stays abroad are normally for three to six months.

The programme uses guest lecturers from foreign cooperating institutions and the programme's own lecturers gain knowledge and experience through exchanges with the same institutions.

The whole or parts of the fourth semester are particularly suitable for exchanges. It is also possible to apply for an international exchange in PARA3900 to write the bachelor's thesis under supervision at an institution abroad.;In addition, it is possible to apply for a shorter international exchange in connection with PARAPRA20 Clinical studies, provided that the student has not already had an international exchange in connection with PARAPRA1.

The primary language of instruction is Norwegian, but teaching in English is offered if English-speaking students have been accepted to the course PARA2200. Exam questions in English are prepared as necessary. Required coursework and exam papers can be written in one of the Scandinavian languages or in English.

Reference is made to the criteria that apply to student exchanges and the information about stays abroad.

Required coursework is all types of work, tests and compulsory attendance that are requirements for being permitted to take the assessment/exam and/or complete practical training. Required coursework is assessed as approved/not approved. The coursework requirements for each course are described in the relevant course description.

The programme has coursework requirements in the form of compulsory attendance, written assignments and practical tests.

Compulsory attendance

Attendance is compulsory in areas that are important to the competence of a paramedic, and where the student cannot acquire knowledge and skills through self-study. This means that attending the following activities is compulsory:

• seminar days
• study groups
• simulation and skills training and skills tests
• observational practice

Other activities may also be subject to compulsory attendance requirements.

There is:

• a 90% compulsory attendance requirement at all simulation and skills training and observational practice
• an 80% attendance requirement at seminars and study groups

Students are themselves responsible for ensuring that they meet the attendance requirements. If a student exceeds the maximum limit for absence, the person responsible for the course will consider whether it is possible to compensate for absence by meeting alternative requirements, for example individual written assignments. If it is not possible to compensate for absence, the student must take the course with the next class. Whether or not it is possible to compensate for absence depends on the extent of the student's absence and which activities he/she has missed.

Written assignments

Several courses have compulsory written assignments, logs or reports as part of their coursework requirements. Feedback is contingent on the written work being submitted by the stipulated deadlines. Written work that is not approved must be reworked before re-submission. If the work is not approved on re-submission, the student cannot take the ordinary exam/assessment.

Students are entitled to a third attempt before the resit/rescheduled exam. If an assignment is not approved the third time it is submitted, the student must re-take the course with the next class.

More detailed requirements for written work, deadlines etc. are set out in the teaching plan for the course in question. Practical tests Practical skills that are important for professional practice as a paramedic are tested in practical tests. If a student's practical test is assessed as 'not approved', he/she will be given another attempt before the ordinary exam. The student cannot sit the ordinary exam if the practical test is not approved after two attempts.

Students are entitled to a third attempt before the resit/rescheduled exam. If the test is not approved after three attempts, the student must take the course with the next class.

Part 1) Assessment of clinical practice placement. The minimum attendance requirement for the placement period is 90%. For more information about the attendance requirement, see ‘Assessment of placement in the ambulance service’ in the main section of the programme description. 

Part 2) Emergency vehicle driving test, theoretical and practical test in driving emergency vehicles organised by the Norwegian Public Roads Administration. The theoretical test must be taken before the practical test, cf. Section 2 of the Emergency Vehicle Regulations.

Students must pass both the clinical training (Part 1) and the emergency vehicle driving test (Part 2) in order to pass the course. If a student fails one part of the course, he/she must retake the part in question.
