Bachelor in Social Education (class 2006 - 09)

The aim of the education is to qualify user-oriented and critically reflective professionals that are able to do environmental work, rehabilitation and social work for the users’ best.The student should acquire knowledge, attitudes and skills based on leading research, development work and empirical knowledge.

The Bachelor’s degree programme in Social Education is a full-time offer of 3 years which is divided into a total of 7 courses that all are compulsory and must be taken in the scheduled order.This means that each course must be completed and passed before the student can sit for the examination in the next course.There is one exception from this rule.The examination in course 3 ”Practice” can taken by the students who are taking the examination for the 2nd time in course 2, as this examination is scheduled after course 3 “Practice” is completed.

The curriculum was new in the autumn of 2004, and it was based on previous curriculums.

The working methods in the programme are very varied and alternate between lectures, skills training, work placement, seminars, group work, essay writing etc.The working methods are accommodated to the learning goals which should be reached within each main topic.

The working methods in the programme should emphasise the principle saying that the students are responsible for their own learning.The students are required to be responsible when it comes to acquiring the knowledge and skills included in the curriculum.The offered teaching activities aim to accommodate for and support the students in their learning process.The study is a full-time programme, and the students are on average supposed to spend at least the same amount of time on the study as they would on a full-time job.The group work activity in the programme is highly emphasised, and the students are required to work in groups.

The students have three work placement periods during the programme.

See each course for examination method.

At the university college, a student is entitled to sit for an examination in one and the same course three times (Cf. § 30. Right to examination registration/admission in REG 2005-06-14 no. 1085).

The ordinary examination is normally held in the same semester as when the course is finished.The Director of Academic Affairs may decide that there should be held a new examination with admission for students who did not pass or had lawful excuse for absence at the ordinary examination (cf. § 33. Time and volume).

New and postponed examinations are normally arranged during the following semester at the latest.

Students who do not complete or pass the ordinary or the new examination are not entitled to sit for a third examination until the next ordinary examination is held.This also applies for students who had lawful excuse for absence at the ordinary or new examination.
