Introduction
For those students who have legal requirements for later admission to the master's program in audiology with pedagogical specialization, Master's programs in audiology - which will be offered from autumn 2020 - will be individually adapted so that the legal requirement for education in pedagogical audiology is maintained until 2022.
Here, your competencies are expanded, just as more emphasis is placed on scientific and theoretical aspects, and you learn how research can be combined with practice.
Through the study, you achieve increased independence, and you learn independently to put together a research course and to assess the quality of others' research.
Great freedom of choice at Audiology
In the master's program, it is possible to choose some of the subjects yourself, so that you can build up a greater knowledge within precisely the topics you are interested in.
At the same time, the education contains a project-oriented course, which can be a precursor to the thesis. Here you may have the opportunity to do projects in the research environments that exist within audiology at the university or together with companies in the Danish hearing aid industry. It gives you the opportunity to, for example, investigate your own ideas and projects in practice or evaluate existing practices through smaller studies.
You are responsible for planning the content of the course, and can partly decide for yourself which areas you want to prioritize, as well as how much weight you give to the theoretical and the practical, respectively.
