- with limited supervision participate in a well-defined study that gives increased in-depth content or methodological knowledge related to the student's earlier or current courses at the advanced level.
- give an account of and discuss the process associated with writing and publishing peer-reviewed articles in scientific journals, including questions regarding ethics and scientific integrity, co-authorship and plagiarism.
- present and discuss the scientific study, in written and oral forms, including the connection between scientific theories from the student's earlier or current courses at advanced level, and the practical aspects of research work.
Content
The student should participate in the daily work within a research environment. This may include:
- participating in seminars and other, for the research environment, relevant activities
- under supervision, carry out an investigation which means a methodological and/or subject in-depth study based on the student's previous or current courses on advanced level
