Preventing Illness or Promoting Health: Concepts and Illustrations from Healthcare Science Perspectives (1.5 credits)

About the course

This course is designed to constitute a series of short expert lectures, panel discussions from current projects, and ethics debates, which will culminate in the foundations for an oral examination. The learning experience builds on a mix of active reading and reflection in combination with dialogue in tandem with taking part of lectures, panels, and debates. The course requires active involvement of the learner through active participation in the scheduled learning activities. See course syllabus for more detailed information.

All course activities are mandatory. Absence of max 20% can be compensated for by additional tasks in agreement with the course organiser. At least 80% attendance and passing the final examination is mandatory for a grade of "pass" in the course.

If you have questions regarding the course please contact the course leader (see contact information further down).
