Modules in the International Master's Programme
Students need to follow two modules each semester - a constituent module (20 ECTS) and an alternating module (10 ECTS) . The constituent modules are tied to the school’s three research programmes, but modules can also be established across these. The three research programmes are: • Information Interaction and Architecture • Knowledge Culture and Knowledge Media • Knowledge Management, Library Development and Learning Processes. The alternating modules are likewise tied to the research programmes, but in a less obligatory way. The content of the alternating modules can for example be connected with research areas and themes that have not been fully exploited. They may also aim at testing some practical problematic issues. The alternating modules are thus a kind of scientific workshops, where focus may be theoretical or practical. The alternating modules change each semester. Each module is completed within one semester so that it can be followed individually. In the Fall of 2010 the constituent international module will be "Theory of Knowledge and Domain Analysis" (20 ECTS). It is possible to choose between two alternating modules: "Information History (10 ECTS)" and "Unlocking Cultural Heritage (10 ECTS)" - and extraordinarily it is also possible to choose the two alternating modules instead of a constutuent and an alternating module. The modules will then count for 15 ECTS each - the extra 5 ECTS will be a difference in the course load and the examination load. Guest students from RSLIS partner institutions are welcome to participate in one or two modules as part of their Master's Programme.
