MINF6200 Immigration Law Emneplan

The aim of this course is to introduce the main legal concepts and principles of immigration law. The course will take into account the most important legal rules on the topic, focusing on the mechanisms and issues related to the right of EU/EEA and third country nationals to live and work in Norway. With this purpose, it will explore not only the Norwegian legal rules, but also the relevant EU/EEA provisions and the international dimension (work, study and family immigration, as well as refugee protection).

Language of instruction is English.

Infrastructure systems are complex systems of links and nodes designed to facilitate human activity such as the movements of people and goods, and water and waste water. Asset management is used to ensure the condition and performance of the infrastructure throughout its lifecycle to ensure the system's efficiency, resilience and sustainability. Technology and smart infrastructure are increasingly utilized within asset management for condition monitoring, performance prediction, and selection of treatment alternatives related to operations, maintenance, and replacement. This course allows students to integrate and apply engineering skills to consider the use of smart infrastructure within infrastructure asset management in a problem-based learning context.

Urban mobility refers to the combination of land use, transportation, and technology resulting in the movement of people, goods, and information in our cities. The goals of urban mobility are to create safe, efficient, and sustainable transport systems that meet the needs of all residents. This course will train students to apply the appropriate methods and metrics for understanding and evaluating urban mobility systems from a holistic perspective, emphasizing the larger social, physical, and environmental implications of transportation.

This course provides an overview of urban mobility, its history, key components and functions, and metrics. Existing land uses and transport systems are the result of decades (and centuries) of development, as such this course will also help students to understand the wide variation in form and function of transport systems, and the range of challenges across these systems. Additionally, new technologies, such as increasing levels of connectivity and the emergence of autonomous vehicles, are sure to play important roles in urban mobility, but the implications of these technologies are not yet clear. This course gives students the requisite background to understand the pros and cons of a range of new and emerging technologies in urban mobility.

No formal requirements over and above the admission requirements.

Lectures, exercises, presentations, filed visits, critical analysis of scientific papers and written project/report.

If lectures are delivered online, they may be recorded, and the recordings will be made available to students on Canvas.

The following required coursework must be done before a student can take the exam:

1. Students should divide into groups working on the final project (individual work is possible).

2. Two weeks before submitting the project, Students should present their own idea ready for implementation (description) as part of the final project during subject consultations in the form of a discussion.

The assessment consists of three parts:

1. Project work - written report of up to 40 pages, which counts 40%
2. Project work - oral presentation, which counts 20% (duration 20 minutes)
3. Individual oral exam, which counts 40% (duration 20 minutes)

Project work in parts 1 and 2 is done in groups with a maximum of 3 students. Students may also choose to work individually.

All assessment parts must be awarded a pass grade (E or better) in order for the student to pass the course.

Assessment parts 1) can be appealed, parts 2) and 3) cannot be appealed.

A calculator is allowed for the written exam. It cannot be used to communicate with others.

1) One internal examiner

2) and 3) Two internal examiners

External examiners are used regularly.
