Factors taken into account in selecting successful applicants include:
Students are ranked and selected on the basis of their summary qualifications, taking all these factors into account.
The academic degree Master of Philosophy in Health Promotion will be awarded to students after completion of all Modules.
Students with superior performance in the programme may be qualified for further academic work, including doctoral study. All students who complete the programme satisfactorily will be qualified for public and private positions that require entry-level skills in health promotion programme planning, implementation and evaluation. Graduates of the programme will have demonstrated skills in interdisciplinary teamwork and will know how to build and manage teams with members from different professional backgrounds. Graduates will also be qualified to work as research assistants both in industry and in the public sector.
As students are selected on the basis that they have professional qualifications prior to joining the programme, all graduates of the programme can expect that the M.Phil. degree will assist them in advancement in their own fields -- public education, nursing, medicine, clinical psychology and public administration as examples.
In Norway, health promotion specialisation is not a recognised/licensed profession (fag). Therefore those contemplating applying to the Programme should consider carefully their motivations for doing so. The most relevant motivations are to (1) add specialised competency in health promotion to one´s professional repertoire, and (2) prepare for an academic career including a PhD following the master´s degree. While there are a growing number of professional employment opportunities for those motivated by (1) above, prospective applicants motivated by (2) above should be aware that competition for admittance to PhD programmes is stiff, and the award of the MPhil degree is no guarantee of entry into a PhD programme.
