MAPHN5900 Masteroppgave Emneplan

Undervisningsspråk: Norsk/engelsk

Studenten skal, under veiledning, gjennomføre et selvstendig forsknings-, kvalitets eller utviklingsarbeid, eller en litteraturstudie. Studentene kan velge om de vil skrive masteroppgaven individuelt eller i gruppe på to. Ved større, tverrfaglige innovasjonsprosjekter kan inntil 4 studenter skrive oppgave sammen, etter søknad. Når det er ønskelig, kan studenter på tvers av spesialiseringer søke om å skrive masteroppgaven sammen, forutsatt at de skriver masteroppgave av samme omfang. Når flere studenter arbeider sammen om masteroppgave, skal det dokumenteres hva den enkelte student har bidratt med. Oppgaven kan utformes enten som en monografi eller som en vitenskapelig artikkel med tematisk fordypning.

Utarbeidelse av prosjektbeskrivelse som forberedelse til masteroppgaven, inngår i emnet MAVIT4070 Forskningsdesign og prosjektbeskrivelse, 10 stp.

Alle obligatoriske emner i studiet må være bestått før studenten kan levere masteroppgaven til sensur.
