The Master’s Program in Behavioral Science comprises 120 ECTS credits in accordance with § 2-6 of the National Regulations Relating to the Universities and University Colleges Act, appointed by the Ministry of Education and Research on August 1st, 2024.

The program teaches modern behavioral science. The term behavioral science has no agreed-upon definition and may refer to different things in different settings. When used as part of the current program, the term should be understood in the context of the idea that a natural science approach to human behavior is both interesting and important to explore. Aspects of natural science relevant for this master´s program in behavioral science include a focus on empirical investigation, the use of experimental methods, and resulting empirically defined units of analysis. Behavioral science aims to explore and develop a natural science approach in several domains, including in conceptual development and philosophy, in experimental analysis and other parts of basic science, and in the application of scientific principles to generate desirable change. A type of behavioral science called behavior analysis is central to the program. Behavior analysis is concerned with investigating systematic relationships between the environment and behavior and considers both public and private events. Behavior analysis may be viewed as a selectionist science taking into consideration both phylogenetic, ontogenetic, and cultural phenomena.

The knowledge, skills and competence from the program are useful when designing, implementing, managing and documenting processes of change for individuals and in systems. Interventions taught in the program are empirically based and well suited for measuring and assessment of outcomes.

The program includes compulsory courses and elective courses, in addition to the master’s thesis. A more detailed overview of the program’s structure for each specialisation is given under the section Content and structure.

Master’s Program in Behavioral Science

The program aims to give students a comprehensive overview of the science of behavior analysis. The study consists of courses designed to provide general knowledge of the conceptual framework and philosophy of behavior analysis and complementary fields. The program has a 80 ECTS compulsory course package, a 10 ECTS elective course and a master’s thesis worth 40 ECTS. The concepts of behavior analysis are generic, and not exclusively relevant for specific target groups or populations. Behavioral interventions in such diverse fields as behavioral economics, concept formation and complex human behavior, teaching special needs-students, organizational behavior management, clinical behavioral treatment, and behavioral safety and risk management provide practical applications of behavioral principles. These topics are included in elective courses to demonstrate the value of the behavioral approach. The theoretical grounding and practical applications provide a strong knowledge base for students to write their thesis, that usually describes the design, implementation, and evaluation of an intervention conducted under the time constraints and practical considerations of a one-semester workload. Except for two compulsory seminars in research ethics, there is no attendance required. However, this is a demanding and exacting program, and students are advised to follow lectures and to participate in a research or lab group preparation of their thesis.

Career opportunities and post-graduate studies

Graduates of the program will usually have a set of professional skills from their undergraduate studies, and the program enhances and adds value to those skills. Graduates have found rewarding work in a variety of settings both in the private and public sector. Former students are working in the fields of:

• general, special, and higher education
• health and social services
• leadership and human resource management
• scientific research

(The list not exhaustive)

The program prepares the graduates for Ph.D. studies.

Program Structure

The program constitutes a scientifically and pedagogically integrated whole; with compulsory and elective components (all comprising 10 ECTS), in addition to master’s theses of 40 ECTS.

Content of common compulsory courses

These courses provide basic insight and some practical skills in behavior analysis.

The philosophy of science that is fundamental to behavior analysis is introduced and placed in a wider context of philosophy of science. The status of various scientific approaches in modern society is discussed. The courses place the study of human behavior in a natural science tradition and emphasize a selectionist understanding of change processes. Basic ontological and epistemological questions are discussed: unity of knowledge; the relationship between natural sciences, social sciences and the humanities; determining and defining analytical units in research; and methodological approaches suitable for promoting effective action. Behavior analysis – experimental, conceptual and applied – is introduced as a cumulative science of behavior.

Compulsory courses

These courses are compulsory for all students:

• MALK4100 Science, Behavior, and Society
• MALK4000-403 Behavior Analysis and Radical Behaviorism
• MALKA211 Introduction to Behavior Analysis
• MALKA212 Refinement of Behavior Analytic Terms
• MALKA213 Laboratory Exercises – Experimental Analysis of Behavior
• MALKA214 Experimental Design and Functional Analysis
• MALKA215 Complex Human Behavior

Content of elective courses

In the elective courses, various behaviorally based approaches to initiating, facilitating and managing change processes in individual behavior repertoire, organizations and systems are studied. Behavioral technology comprises everything from basic self-control techniques to sophisticated tools for initiating and managing complex processes in large organizations. Important features in this methodology are operational measures of change and continuous data collection.

Elective courses (a total of 20 ECTS)

Each student chooses two (2) of the following courses:

• MALKA217 Early Intervention for Children with Pervasive Developmental Disorders
• MALKA219 Organizational Behavior Management (OBM)
• MALKA220 Behavioral Economics
• MALKA221 Complex Systems and Risk Management (Not offered in 2025 and 2026)
• MALKA222 Clinical Behavior Analysis

Elective courses are normally offered every Fall term. Students enrol for courses bydeadlines each semester, and thedepartment reserves the right to cancel courses with insufficient enrolment. Depending on the number of students enrolled, changes may be made in the way the courses are conducted.

Master's theses - 40 ECTS credits

Students write an individual master’s thesis worth 40 ECTS (MALK5920/MALKD5920). The thesis is usually a work in progress during the elective courses, when students participate in research projects with faculty.

By the end of the final course at the latest, the student submits a thesis outline, including a research question, a plan for progress, and a plan for dissemination (see guidelines, Thesis outline). When faculty approves the thesis outline, the student is assigned a supervisor for his thesis work. See the course descriptions for MALK5920/MALKD5920 for a more detailed description of the master’s thesis worth 40 ECTS.

Two compulsory seminars in research ethics cover academic honesty; the work of Regional Ethics Committees; the guidelines of OsloMet on research ethics and research fraud; current publication manuals and APA style manuscript preparation, and the use of electronic reference management tools. The seminars are taken place digitally and are open forstudents from all stages of the program. One seminar is held every semester, and both seminars must be completed before the proposal for the thesis is submitted.

The master’s thesis can be written in Norwegian, Swedish, Danish or English.

The program complies with the quality assurance systems required by the university.

Progression Requirements

All coursework requirements must be approved to sit for the final course exam. Coursework requirements must be approved to participate and submit coursework requirements according to the following:

Exemption from the provisions of progression requirements may in special cases and upon application by the student, be granted.

Eksamen er "åpen bok". Bøker, notater og kalkulator er tillatt.

The increasing globalization of the labour market makes international experience and knowledge of languages and cultures increasingly important. Internationalization contributes to raising the quality of education and strengthens the academic community relating to the master’s program, at the same time as it strengthens the students as global citizens.

The Department of Behavioral Science has teaching and research collaboration projects and agreements with several foreign institutions of higher education. We encourage students to take a part of their master`s degree at one of our partner institutions, subject to the approval of the Head of Studies. A prerequisite for approval of the exchange is that the coursework can be approved as part of the master’s program.

The recommended options for international exchange are the 3rd semester for a regular credit mobility and the 4th semester for conducting fieldwork related to the master's thesis.

Praksisstudier er de deler av utdanningen som foregår i autentiske yrkessituasjoner. Praksisstudiene er obligatoriske og dekker 90 studiepoeng. Praksisstudiene legges opp slik at du får møte pasienter i ulike aldersgrupper og du får delta i tverrprofesjonelt samarbeid. Gjennom praksisstudiene vil du stilles overfor arbeidsoppgaver som gir deg anledning til å oppdage og utforske kliniske sykepleiefaglige problemstillinger, og som stiller deg overfor krav om å arbeide kunnskapsbasert og pasientsentrert. Praksisstudiene er en viktig arena for utvikling av ny kunnskap, ferdigheter og generell kompetanse.

Det legges til rette for at alle studenter gjennomfører praksisstudier innenfor ulike arenaer. Du må følge praksisstedets reglement for bekledning og i tillegg kan praksisstedet ha egne krav til tester og vaksinasjon. Det kan ikke forventes kjønnsadskilte praksisstudier.

Praksisstudiene foregår i Oslo og i store deler av østlandsområdet, slik at reisevei må påregnes. Praksisstudier er både praksisforberedende undervisning, aktiviteter underveis og veiledet praksis som foregår i praksisperioden. Hver uke er planlagt med en forventet studieinnsats på 40 timer. Obligatorisk tilstedeværelse i veiledet praksisperiode utgjør gjennomsnittlig 30 timer per uke og det stilles krav om 90 prosent tilstedeværelse i denne perioden.

I kommunehelsetjenesten vil praksisplassene være på helsehus, kommunal akutt døgnenhet (KAD), sykehjem, omsorgsboliger, hjemmebaserte tjenester, mens i spesialisthelsetjenesten er praksisplassene i hovedsak på sykehus. I hver praksisperiode skal det utarbeides en turnusplan som viser oversikt over studier på dag, kveld, natt og helg samt alle planlagte studieaktiviteter. Turnusplanen utarbeides i et samarbeid mellom utdanning, praksisfelt og student.

I praksisstudier får du veiledning av praksisveileder og kontaktlærer. Veiledningen skal bidra til å støtte læringsprosessen slik at du oppnår læringsutbyttene for praksisperioden. Praksisstudiene vurderes til bestått ikke bestått av praksisveiledere i samarbeid med kontaktlærer ved universitetet.

Studenter som overskrider fraværsgrensen, får Ikke bestått praksisperiode og har brukt ett forsøk. For mer informasjon om praksis se forskrift om studier og eksamen ved OsloMet – storbyuniversitetet.

Inspirasjonspraksis

Hensikten med inspirasjonspraksis er at du tidlig i studiet skal får et lite innblikk i yrkesutøvelsen og erfaring med konkrete sykepleiefaglige arbeidsoppgaver. I grupper på 2-3 studenter får dere veiledning fortrinnsvis av studenter i 3 studieår, som har ansvar for å utarbeide det pedagogiske opplegget. Inspirasjonspraksis er et arbeidskrav og gjennomføres i første semester.

Prosjektbaserte praksisstudier

Hensikten er å fordype seg i en sykepleiefaglig problemstilling som belyses ut fra relevant litteratur og praksis. Prosjektbaserte praksisstudier gjennomføres i grupper med veiledning fra kontaktlærer. Prosjektbaserte praksisstudier gjennomføres i emnene SYKK/SYKP2200 Folkehelsearbeid og SYKK/SYKP3000 Student BEST.
