The programme is part-time and runs over a period of 2 years. The programme consists of 10 courses (5 courses each year). The courses are put together into an overall system. There are three main topics in the programme: These are: Information, communication and management.
The academic year 2006-07 includes part 1, courses 1-5. The curriculum will be revised, which will result in changes from the autumn of 2007. The students who wish to take the courses 6-10 (30 credits), must follow the new curriculum.
A two-day study meeting is arranged in each course at LillehammerUniversityCollege. The teaching arrangements will mainly focus on problem-based learning (PBL). By this we mean that the students in each course will become familiar with central concepts and problem issues related to the course. Then they will discuss in groups, gather information, carry out practical clarifications and find solutions. The solutions will later be presented in class. The presentation must be both written and oral.
In practice, this means that the students will have few classic lectures. Independent problem- and topic-based project assignments form the main basis in the programme’s educational structure.

Admission requirementsThe admission requirement is Higher Education Entrance Qualification or approved prior learning and work experience, but many students have previous higher education and take the programme as a supplementary vocational study.
The teaching arrangements will mainly focus on problem-based learning (PBL). By this we mean that the students in each course will become familiar with central concepts and problem issues related to the course. Then they will discuss in groups, gather information, carry out practical clarifications and find solutions. The solutions will later be presented in class. The presentation must be both written and oral.
In practice, this means that the students will have few classic lectures. Independent problem- and topic-based project assignments form the main basis in the programme’s educational structure.
In the periods between the courses, the students will work on problem issues individually or in groups for later to present them in the meetings where they will be criticised by the course teacher and the other students.
AssessmentThere are two examination possibilities in the programme:
The examination can be taken in groups or individually, and is completed by an oral test with internal and external examiner. The letter grades A-E are used in the evaluation.
