FOTO2100 Image Studies for Photojournalists Course description

In this course, you will be able to specialise in the field of supervision. You will learn about supervision, and the supervisor’s role, responsibility and function. This elective course provides basic skills in supervision of nursing students, but can also be used in other contexts, such as the guidance of colleagues, patients and next of kin. The course content combines basic theory of supervision with practical training in groups and individual supervision.

Students who pass the course may apply for exemption from the course VEIPR6000 Supervision and assessment 1 (5 credits) in the programme Further Education in Supervision of Students in Internship (10 credits) at OsloMet.
