According to the programme these are taken in the 1st semester.

150 ECTS in subject number one (line of study) The line of study consists of 150 ECTS in subject number one. The number ECTS depends on whether the line of study in years 1-3 requires in-depth study worth 90 ECTS. This in-depth study forms the basis for studies in the chosen subject in years 4 and 5, which in all lines of study are worth 60 ECTS. 30 of the 60 ECTS are assigned to the master's degree thesis.

60 ECTS subject number two All lines of study are also offered as 60-ECTS groups, with the exception of Social anthropology, Sociology and Political science. One course group in Social science is offered as compensation for each one of these subjects. Students who choose Social anthropology, Sociology and Political science cannot choose the Social science course groups as subject number two. The programme allows for students to take a science subject as teaching subject number two.

60 ECTS practical-educational studies In years 4 and 5, practical-educational training and subject training are combined, with a value of 60 credits ECTS. The practical-educational part is divided between courses in education studies, specialist didactics and school practice.

Optional courses Depending on the choice of first semester course and line of study, the programme includes up to 10 ECTS worth of optional courses during years 1-3. i) Students of the Faculty of Social Science and the College of Fishery Science can choose the 1st subject course among the subjects which are part of the course of study and include the subject course in the line of study/60 ECTS group. Allowance is made for an optional course worth 10 ECTS. 

Specific recognition In the event of a course being interrupted the student concerned can apply to be recognised for another programme. Other programmes do not, however, qualify to teach unless the student takes a bachelor degree in at least one teaching subject plus a one-year practical-educational training. Students who are not taking part in the programme can apply for specific recognition at any time before their 4th year. Before commencing the 4th year, however, they must have taken an exam in one of the extra mural variants that form an obligatory part of the programme. See above.

7. Master´s degree thesis The master´s degree thesis corresponds to 40 ECTS, of which 30 ECTS for the subject and 10 ECTS for the didactics related to the practical-educational plan. The master´s degree thesis is a brief scientific treatise, 40-60 pages in length on a particular subject within the field of study and topics in which the student concentrates in the master´s component of the programme. The work must also have a subject-didactic perspective. A tutor is appointed from the subject concerned, as usual main tutor and one from the PLP. The theme must be approved by the tutors. Students will also have the opportunity, on application to the programme board, to write a 30 ECTS master´s thesis in the student's main subject. Students are given a tutor from their chosen line of study. The assignment can have a subject-didactic perspective and a co-tutor can be appointed from the PLP. Assignments are usually written individually, although they can be written in groups. Grading is according to the letter grades A - F and group work will be given a grade common to all members of the group. The assignment and oral exam account for the same. Oral exams are individual.
