Course requirements

Femte semester av bachelorstudiet i bibliotek- og informasjonsvitenskap er et internasjonalt semester hvor studenter kan ha et utvekslingsopphold hos en av våre utenlandske partnerinstitusjoner. Instituttet har avtaler innenfor Erasmus+- og Nordplus-programmene. Studentene kan også søke på OsloMets avtaler utenfor Europa. Mer informasjon om utvekslingsopphold finnes på OsloMets og fakultetets hjemmesider.

Flere av de valgfrie emnene i femte semester har engelsk som undervisningsspråk for å kunne tilby dem for internasjonale studenter fra våre partnerinstitusjoner. Med en blandet studentgruppe av norske og utenlandske vil også studenter som ikke reiser på utveksling få internasjonal erfaring.

Assessment

A three-hour individual written exam.

The exam result can be appealed.

In the event of a resit or rescheduled exam, an oral examination may be used instead. In case an oral exam is used, the examination result cannot be appealed.

Permitted exam materials and equipment

Professor Peter G. Schild

Grading scale

The master’s degree programme in entrepreneurship is a two-year extension of a three-year bachelor's degree programme. The programme is an interdisciplinary full-time programme of study taught in English and Norwegian, where the student acquires the knowledge, skills and general competence required for entrepreneurial activities at both a practical and a theoretical level. After completing the programme, students are awarded a master’s degree in entrepreneurship and qualify for admission to relevant PhD programmes.

The master's programme is designed as a Value Creation Programme where students learn through creating new value for others. This value can be financial, cultural or social, and is anchored in a broad definition of entrepreneurship that includes intrapreneurship (creating value internally in companies or the public sector) and social entrepreneurship (focusing on creating social value in NGOs/non-profits, organisations and ventures) as well as traditional entrepreneurial activities (starting a commercial venture). Therefore the pedagogical approach of this programme differs from traditional master's level programmes in its strong emphasis on insight into entrepreneurial processes achieved through practical experience.

Students completing this programme will acquire entrepreneurial competence that will enable them to start their own ventures as well as finding employment as change agents within private and/or public enterprises or NGOs. Entrepreneurial competence enables students to act upon opportunities and ideas to create value for others. Entrepreneurial skills enable students to act and adapt when exposed to situations with a high degree of uncertainty. Entrepreneurial abilities such as creativity, leadership, communication, critical thinking and flexibility are often termed 21st century competencies, and these competencies have been identified as crucial to succeed in future work life.

Examiners

Admission to this programme is regulated by Regulations Relating to Admissions to Studies at OsloMet.

Admission requires:

  • general entrance requirements for Norwegian higher education, including proficiency in Norwegian (or any other Scandinavian language)
  • a bachelor’s degree or equivalent degree
  • an average grade of at least C (according to the ECTS grading scale) on your bachelor's degree
  • an approved entrance test
  • passed entrance interview

Along with the application it is required that candidates submit a completed entrance test where the candidate introduces themselves and answer questions and assignments designed to determine their suitability for the programme and for entrepreneurship. The entrance test will be available on the programme’s web page when the application portal opens.

The entrance test will be assessed by a faculty panel, which will evaluate the candidates’ background and suitability for the programme. Approximately 100 candidates will be invited to an entrance interview. Approximately 35 of these candidates will be selected for the programme. The selection of candidates is based on the entrance test and entrance interview only.

The master programme aims for a diverse group of students with different educational backgrounds. In the case where several qualified applicants have similar educational backgrounds, applicants with different backgrounds may be chosen for admission over those with similar backgrounds.

Single subjects: Entrance test and interview does not apply for admission to single subjects only.
