Final project (outdoor life, health and identity)
15.0 ECTS creditsThe course consists of an independent project, individually or with another student if so required by special circumstances. Special circumstances are:
- studies abroad
- cross-disciplinary studies
- the project requires particularly time-consuming methods
- the project allows for and benefits from more than one participant.
The examiner decides if there are special circumstances. The examiner is responsible for ensuring that each student is individually assessed.
The course requires students to carry out an investigation and author an essay, serve as an opponent and actively participate in a seminar group.
The degree project topic is chosen by the student in consultation with the supervisor. Supervisor and student maintain contact throughout the project period.
The course also covers research methodology and theory of science, based on articles.
The degree project requires:
- specifying problem, aim and research questions
- analytical specification and development of purpose based on background literature
- choosing approach and method
- collecting, analysing and compiling empirical material
- analysis and discussion of material in relation to theory, aim and research questions
- relevant ethical considerations
- a written presentation of the investigation
The final product must have a logical disposition and be clearly written in Swedish, or another language on approval by the examiner. Consistent use of standard norms for presenting material and making references (notes and bibliography) is required.
On the approval of the supervisor, the completed essay is submitted to the seminar where it is peer reviewed and discussed by the seminar participants. Students are responsible for the printing and distribution of the required number of the essay prior to the seminar.
