Supervised Independent Study

This course gives the student the opportunity to immerse themselves in a self-chosen topic and problem, either empirically or theoretically. The course can be set up so that it thematically supports the work with the master's thesis, but the student chooses this themselves.

The syllabus must be approximately 600-700 pages and must sufficiently take into account both breadth and depth within the chosen topic. Of these, 100 pages can be selected during the writing process and in collaboration with the supervisor.

Knowledge:

• Have advanced knowledge of the development of the problem, as well as carry out a limited analysis and discussion of this
• Have in-depth theoretical knowledge of the chosen topic

Skills:

• can analyze the connection between issue and discussion
• can write an academic assignment on an independent basis

General competence:

• can apply professional knowledge and skills to carry out advanced analysis and discussion within a thematically relevant area

Teaching method: An introductory seminar on the subject, work requirements and requirements for semester assignments. Up to two hours of individual supervision. The deadline for submitting applications for approval of topics and the appointment of a supervisor is 1st of March for the spring semester and 15th of October for the autumn semester.
