ERG220 Enabling Occupation

Knowledge from ERG200, ERG210 and ERGP2.

Knowledge of rehabilitation.

The course is open to students from institutions with which the programme has entered into an agreement. The students must have passed their first year of the study.

For students admitted to the bachelor's programme, the requirement is that subjects in the first year of study must have been passed.

The course emphasises the use of practical approaches to enhance the students’ skills relevant to the three themes. The practical part of the course will take place both at the University and in the society (at workplaces and within homes of students or citizens). As part of the workplace module, the students will both do an assessment of a workstation (at the University) and an assessment of an optional external workplace.

The course includes group work, practical workshops, written assignments and seminars. Learning methods which actively involve the students will be applied, in addition to digital learning resources. Assignments can be placed in clinical settings.

Students receive written feedback based on specific criteria for all written compulsory learning activities, related to academic content and academic writing. The purpose of this feedback is to help students understand what is well-done and what needs improvement in their responses. It is expected that students will utilize and build upon this feedback to enhance their performance in subsequent written assignments and exams.

A workload of 40 hours studying per week is expected.
