Course description

Objectives and Content

Through this course, the students will gain in-depth knowledge of a selected logopedic topic. The content will vary from semester to semester.

The course can be substituted by a comparable course of equivalent scope and dimension from other institutions.

The credits can also be substituted by another self-selected specialization, with the same scope and degree of in-depth knowledge, for example by presenting one's work at a scientific conference or by taking part in a summer school held by educational institutions or professional organizations. The student is responsible for documenting that the activities are sufficient to cover 5 ECTS and that the activities are at a master degree level. Examples of activities that may be approved:

1. Participating in an international scientific conference with own contribution

2. Participating in a national scientific conference with own contribution

3. Participating in summer school held by approved body (one ECTS per day)

4. Self-selected specialization as self-studies can give one ECTS per 300 pages. The literature list must be approved, and must not overlap with literature from other courses in the program. The work must be documented by an annotated literature list, and a reflective diary showing that the learning outcomes are reached.

The activities or courses that are intended to substitute LOGO325 must be approved in advance.
