Education facts

The aim of the course is for the student to independently apply different theories and methods and to critically and reflectively translate such knowledge and experience into social work practice. The field placement is divided into two modules:   **Module 1, 15 credits** The student completes half of their placement as part of Module 1. This module includes writing an individual placement plan together with the responsible supervisor. In addition to regular supervision sessions, the first individual development discussion between the principal supervisor and the student takes place in this module. During this module, the student must carry out and submit their first examination assignment on the course.   **Module 2, 15 credits** Within module 2, the student completes their placement period with continuous supervision. At the end of this module, the placement supervisor must submit a supervisor report as the basis of the completed placement and as part of the assessment of the student's ability and conditions for fulfilling the intended learning outcomes of the placement. The student must also present a certificate of attendance and proof that supervision has been continuously provided throughout the semester.  During this module, the student must carry out and submit their second examination assignment on the course.
