This programme is a two-part foundation programme, with each part providing 10 ECTS credits. Each part may be completed independently. It is a preparatory programme, and should therefore be taken at an early point in a student’s studies. It provides an introduction to theoretical, practical and ethical issues that are relevant in various academic disciplines and activities. Through this programme students will develop the ability to approach academic and theoretic topics in an independent and systematic way. These two programmes are obligatory for Bachelor’s degree programmes in the traditional university subjects.
The programme includes:
Examen Philosophicum
Examen Facultatum
If students wish to study full time in this semester they must take a 10 ECTS credit course in addition. They may choose between:
Linguistics
Environmental Philosophy and Ethics
Or a third course from another programme, for example History or History of Ideas or Digital Culture, Digital Society (in Spring semester).
The programme may also be studied in Mexico, Brazil or Cuba with Gateway College, which Telemark University College collaborates with. Locations and programmes may vary from semester to semester.
Lectures and seminars. Grades will be awarded on the basis of submitted work or midterm tests and a final examination. The programme may be studied either full or part time, in the spring or autumn semesters.
The programme is an obligatory part of some programmes at this university college.
