The course is focused on the active research fields, the lectures are delivered by internationally established Nordic researchers, and the required literature is inclined to reputable research published in English language.

The course is delivered at the Oslo Metropolitan University, Oslo, Norway, and it combines lectures and seminars on campus with independent studies of literature as well as with written submission and oral presentation. The course is given in English.
