Degree project - Intensive Care

Instruction is in the form of literature study, supervision, and seminars. Supervision is normally offered to pairs or groups of students, and takes place either online or in connection with on-campus meetings.

The degree project is a research study with relevance to intensive care nursing and is carried out as a systematic literature study or as an empirical study.

A project plan (PM) is created based on the chosen area of research and an information search in databases, and includes a description of the chosen scientific method and research ethical considerations. The degree project is reported in writing based on the research process and concluded through seminars where students perform as writers and peer reviewers.

Supervision is provided for the duration of the course. Reregistered students are only offered supervision if circumstances permit.
