Teaching methods vary between subjects and blocks of subjects. Normal teaching methods consist of lectures, problem-based learning assignments, written and oral presentations, laboratory courses, using various kinds of tools, including ICT with special software, and work in small groups. The bulk of the teaching in the last part of the studies is practical/preclinical/clinical.

Department of Earth Science (GEO)'s overall goal is to develop new knowledge of the Earth's structure, formation history and the driving forces for its dynamic behavior. The research activities at the department of Earth Science (GEO) are concentrated in thematic groups; Quaternary geology and Paleo Climate Geochemistry & Geobiology Geodynamics and Basin Studies Geophysics Regarding meteorology, oceanography and climate we have five research groups: Meteorology, Physical oceanography, biogeochemistry, climate dynamics and renewable energy. All to explore the driving forces of nature.

Geophysics; Querternary geology; Geochemistry

The programme provides an overview of the solid Earth's composition and spatiotemporal evolution on a global, regional and local scale. The programme is based largely on direct observations and descriptions of rocks and sediments in nature together with collection and analysis of field data. The programme deals with topics that are relevant to the present and future, such as the ways in which natural resources are formed and extracted, the consequences of geological processes for the environment and climate, and the interactions between natural and human-induced changes and natural disasters.

yes

The programme provides students introduction to factors controlling the dynamics of the atmosphere and ocean: the physical characteristics of the atmosphere, physical and chemical properties of the ocean, measurement and analysis of the atmosphere and the ocean, and and the ways in which this knowledge an be used and understand and explain the variability and changes in climate. The programme utilizes research in the knowledge from physics, mathematics, chemistry and geophysics to give candidates an education with expertise in meteorology, oceanography and climate.

The overall goal is to develop new knowledge of the Earth's structure, formation history and the driving forces for its dynamic behaviour. Earth scientists research attempts to understand topics such as the relationships between the planet's interior and surface, now and throughout history, how the glaciers behave, earth's changing climate, responsible use of natural resources from the earth and under the sea and how to build human infrastructure on an evolving planet.

yes

The programme dealts with both the physical & the mathematical description of central atmospheric & oceanographic phenomena, using measurements, experiments, theory & numerical modelling. We study the force that control the movements of the atmosphere & the ocean including sea ice, central physical process in the atmosphere & the ocean, the interaction between sea, sea ice & atmosphere, weather forecast, the cycling of nutrients & carbon in the ocean, regional & global climate change. You specialize in climate dynamics, marine biogeochemistry, meteorology, physical oceanography.

The Bachelor's Programme in Economics aims to provide basic method, analytical, work and dissemination competence. The programme provides a thorough introduction to how the economy works, both the domestic economy, the economic conditions in other countries, and the world economy. Through lectures, seminars, thesis writing and possible stays abroad, the programme in Economics gives the students a very good foundation for various jobs and active participation in society. Teaching is given in compulsory and optional courses. The students write a bachelor's thesis at the end of the program.

The Bachelor’s Programme in Political Economy gives the student a fundamental theoretic and empirical knowledge about economics and political science. They learn to combine this knowledge in the study of specific institutions and economic politics. The programme is an integrated offer to students who are interested in these two subjects/professions on the borderline between economics and politics. They also get thorough training in research methodology so that they at the end do an independent analysis of a topic within political economy in the shape of a bachelor’s thesis.

The Master’s Programme in Economics aims to provide students with a high level of method competence, analytical competence, work competence and dissemination competence. The programme gives a deep understanding of how the economy works, both the domestic economy, the economic conditions in other countries, and the world economy. The students write a master’s thesis about a restricted problem in the last semester. The master’s thesis is an independent research project supervised by the Department of Economics.

The Professional Studies in Economics aims to provide method competence, analytical competence, work competence and dissemination competence. The Programme gives the students a deep understanding of how the economy works, both the domestic economy, the economic conditions in other countries, and the world economy. The students also have the opportunity to participate in a tailor-made practice program at a relevant employer. Compared to the master's program in economics, the Professional Studies has greater depth in methodology and knowledge about different sub-areas within economics.

Department of Education focuses on sociocultural perspectives and active learning in the study programs. This influence both content and teaching methods. The department emphasizes systematic progression in the development of student’s academic skills and critical thinking. This approach is also reflected in the assessment methods. Forms of teaching is lectures, seminars where the students play the active part, different forms of assignments and other activities that promotes and documents students learning. Portfolio assessment is frequently used, as well as home exams but also school exams.

The department conducts critical studies within education. The emphasis is on philosophical questions connected to the educational mandate, historical approaches to the development of schools and education in the society, social learning conditions, the sociology of educational knowledge and educational policy, studies of education in situations of migration and political unrest, as well as the conditions for minority students and students with special needs in public education. We are mostly conducting qualitative research and document analyses, but also some surveys and experiments.
