Two weeks before the course starts, a detailed schedules with reading instructions will be made available on Canvas, our course platform.

More information on the examination format for each module can be found in the syllabus (kursplan). For some of the modules you will have to register for an invigilated exam taken on Campus. More information about how this should be done will be available on Canvas.

In addition to written and oral course assignments, please observe that in order to receive a passing grade, you are required to attend the classes and seminars here on campus. These course components are equally mandatory as other forms of assessment, since failure to participate in seminar activities will make it impossible to assess course objectives focusing on such skills.

To participate fully in this course, it is important also that you prepare well for the seminars by reading instructed parts of the course literature. You should be able to discuss particular models, theories and issues brought up in the literature rather than topics in general. Therefore, it is important that you get hold of the literature well in time for the relevant sessions. A good idea is to order the books indicated in the syllabus (kursplan) during the summer vacation. You will find a link to the syllabus and reading list in the first section of this online welcome letter.

Since the course runs at 100%, you must be prepared to allocate at least 40 hours of study per week, including class attendance, reading and writing assignments. Of course this is dependent on your level of ability and how fast you can read and write academic texts in English, but an estimate is to think of your studying with us as a full-time job.

Canvas will be our main digital channel for communication, and this is where you will find material about our course such as the timetable, instructions, assignments, etc. This is also where the different instructors will post general announcements concerning the course and the individual sessions. Your instructors will use the email client to send individual messages when necessary. Therefore, check the Canvas page and your email regularly.
