General provisions

The course is part of the Euroculture Master's programme.

Entry requirements

The course is only available to exchange students within the Euroculture Master's programme who have successfully completed at least 20 credits in the programme’s first semester.

Learning outcomes

After completion of the course students will be able to:

• prepare and formulate research questions, hypotheses and arguments for a smaller research project;
• conduct research in the humanities at an advanced level;
• present the project both written and orally to tutors and fellow students;
• evaluate, comment and contribute to other students’ research projects;
• participate and contribute reflexively in workshops concerning European issues, developments and work-related questions.

Content

Students will participate in seminars and workshops preparing them to write and present a paper for the Euroculture network’s Intensive Programme at the end of the semester.

Instruction

Teaching will be in English. The teaching on this campus course includes both lectures and seminars. Attendance at seminars and at least 75% of lectures is compulsory. Students who miss seminars must compensate this absence. In general, students who miss more than 25% of lectures must also compensate. However, students who are absent for substantially more than 25% of lectures must instead take part in lectures the next time the course is provided. Participation in all lectures is highly encouraged since the lectures facilitate reading and analysis of the course literature.

Assessment

Examination takes place through the students’ written papers, comments and presentations. The course will be graded with Väl godkänd (Pass with distinction), Godkänd (Pass), or Underkänd (Fail).

If there are special reasons for doing so, an examiner may make an exception from the method of assessment indicated and allow a student to be assessed by another method. An example of special reasons might be a certificate regarding special pedagogical support from the University’s disability coordinator.

Transitional provisions

Students retain the right to be examined on the course according to this syllabus for 3 semesters after their course instance has ended. Normally, instruction will be given according to the latest version of the course syllabus only
