Research and Education Management

Research and Education Management

The Research and Education Management Programme focuses on the management of the academic core activities.

The programme is aimed at heads of department and programme coordinators who have both R&D and education within their area of responsibility, and the content of the programme therefore sees R&D and education in context, as opposed to two separate programmes.

In 2017-18 the first year was completed with 16 participants from all of OsloMet’s faculties.

The programme consists of

  • A mandatory core programme with 2 x two-day sessions and 2 x day sessions
  • Recommended optional modules in the form of 3 x shorter seminars
  • A faculty workshop for each faculty where we work on topics that are tailor made for local conditions
