Nordic Perspectives on Work Science
About this course
The course focuses on the development of the multidisciplinary work sciences according to views represented by various scientific disciplines, their underlying approaches and implications for research questions, concepts, theories, applications, approaches and methodology. Different perspectives and applications will be subject for discussions and comparisons to support a holistic understanding of contemporary challenges for sciences with a work perspective – and improve competence to handle and collaborate in research and developments.
The course can be complemented to certify for a theoretical course, 7,5 credits at research-level, certified at Gothenburg University. This includes independent work during a 4-month period and an exam during a lunch-to-lunch meeting in Gothenburg.
This course has also been accepted as a theoretical course (10 hours) demanded in the medical specialist education in the training programs of occupational health services at the University of Helsinki in Finland. The acceptance is valid for the specialist training programs at the Faculty of Medicine of all Finnish universities.
