This course covers topics selected to be of particular relevance for students with their intended Master thesis. Material for the course is put together in cooperation with the thesis main-supervisor, and the course proceeds on a self-study basis under the supervision. The course has also a practical project that lasts for a short period where the students are assigned at any of laboratories at OsloMet, medical/health care companies, or a department at local hospitals in the Oslo and Akershus region. 

No formal requirements over and above the admission requirements. 

A student who has completed this course should have the following learning outcomes: 

Knowledge: 

Upon successful completion of the course:

• can analyze a practical challenge in the view of the theoretical and research-based methodologies. 

General competence: 

Upon successful completion of the course, the student:

• is enabled to analyze, present and debate specific research subjects in light of the theoretical and practical approaches. 
• can discuss the subject both at expert and non-expert levels. 

The course applies research-based learning supervised by one or more supervisors (internal/external), and a practical assignment with individual report work. The student will make a written report based on research problems from the practical assignment and the selected theoretical material. The course ends by the student/students in group (2-5 students) giving a presentation on the chosen topic and the practical assignments. 

None

An individual/group (2-5 students) project report (at least 15 pages and max 30 pages) on the chosen topic and practical assignment, and an oral examination with two examiners. 

50% of the grade is based on the individual/groups (2-5 students) project report and presentation (1). 50% of the grade is based on oral examination (2).

Both exams must be passed in order to pass the course. 

The oral exam cannot be appealed. 

All aids are permitted for the project report.

For the oral exam, a handheld calculator that cannot be used for wireless communication or to perform symbolic calculations is permitted. If the calculator’s internal memory can store data, the memory must be deleted before the exam. Random checks may be carried out.

For the report and presentation in combination with the oral examination, a grading scale from A to E is used, where A denotes the highest and E the lowest pass grade, and F denotes a fail. 

Two internal examiners. External examiner is used periodically.
