Study environment - Childhood Studies (Master's Programme)
Study environment
Teaching
You will attend regular lectures, seminars, and training workshops that support your learning. Emphasis is given to student-driven learning involving collaboration, reflection, experience sharing, and project-related tasks. Students can choose elective courses and pursue a topic for research linked to their interests and future career aspirations. They can also undertake fieldwork in a country of their choice. The program is interdisciplinary in that courses draw on and critically engage with diverse methodologies and theoretical ideas from across social science disciplines. Both students and lecturers have different disciplinary backgrounds. Students' critical and analytical inputs are important. All courses include students of different nationalities and cultural backgrounds.
Being a child research student
Child research at the Department of Education and Lifelong Learning has a strong international orientation. The department hosts national and international guest researchers. The students in this programme will benefit from being a part of a strong international research milieu.
The students have their own social media group. Here, they discuss issues from their lectures and set up appointments to meet after the lectures and at the weekend.
New students will be invited to participate in an introductory programme at the beginning of the semester.
Students in Trondheim have access to a lot of activities. Maybe you would like to hire a student cabin? Or perhaps you prefer hiking and skiing or other sports activities.
