» NVivo - kvalitativ dataanalys
The advanced Nvivo workshops presupposes a general understanding of the software. More specifically participants should be familiar with how to set up projects in Nvivo, how to import data, how to use different basic features such as memos, maps and folders, as well as understand the basics of how to work with coding and cases. All of this is covered in the introductory workshops. Additionally, the advanced workshops may also require a coded dataset.

2025-03-17 Master education for game producersAn often experienced problem in game development is how to get different competences to co-create engaging and consistent game experiences. A series of master courses for game producers is offered from autumn 2025 which can lead to a 1-year master exam in Information Systems. Our education highlights challenges and solutions in organising inter-human communication in creative projects, within and between studios.
Although the statistical chances of meeting a serial killer in real life are infinitesimally small, they seem to be absolutely everywhere in the media, from true crime to news journalism and all manner of fictional narratives.
The symposium Here, There, Everywhere: The Figure of the Serial Killer addresses this curious ubiquity, asking questions such as: Why is the figure of the serial killer so fascinating to so many people?
