Health in Emergencies and Refugee Health

The first four weeks consist of part-time online learning, which can be undertaken from anywhere in the world as long as you have a computer with an internet connection. Moderated online discussions, online tests and short-recorded lectures are central parts of the online learning experience.

The last two weeks of the course take place in Copenhagen, and will include lectures, site visits and a final exam. The campus weeks of the course is based on interdisciplinary teaching and problem oriented learning and seeks to draw on students' own experience as a resource. Both lectures and group work are important components. Group work will mainly be used in relation to specific case studies. For each session, we consider the current state of research, as well as policy and practice and critically examine the underlying paradigms. Students are expected to actively participate in the learning process and prepare for the sessions by studying distributed and recommended reading materials.

Some information about online learning
During the online weeks students will only meet and interact with tutors and fellow students in the University of Copenhagen's online learning platform.

A typical E-module is composed of:
• An introduction to the topic
• An overview of the purpose, the subjects and the intended learning outcome
• A short study guide
• Learning resources (which can be text, audio and/or video files)
• Several exercises called E-lessons.

The E-lessons are online learning activities, which can be questionnaires, assignments or online discussions. The roles of the teachers are to assist student learning by serving as E-moderators for the various E-lessons.
