If the student has submitted their
thesis, but is ill at the oral defense, a new defense will be
arranged as soon as possible based on the thesis already submitted.
If the student receives a non-passing grade at the regular exam,
they have used an exam attempt. It is then a requirement that the
Master’s Thesis contract is renewed, i.e. the student must further
clarify their original topic delimitation, which must then be
approved by the thesis
coordinator.

| Course content, structure and pedagogical
approach |
|
The thesis project addresses one or several interrelated
problems in the development of a specific health care innovation.
It presents data and analysis of these problems, considers and
argues for a prioritization of solutions and weighs the pros and
cons of its preferred solution.
The data collection and analysis of this problem solving is
based on the academic literature on relevant methods, theories and
concepts. The relationship between this literature and the handling
of innovation problems in the project is brought out by the thesis.
The choice of methods and theory is considered in light of relevant
alternatives in the literature.
The thesis project is carried out in a setting of innovation
practitioners, when possible in the form of an internship in
relevant organisation in the health care system. Alternatively in
another setting securing ongoing practitioner attention to the
project.
The main study objectives of the thesis project is to apply and
integrate the knowledge and skills acquired over the previous 90
ECTS of the program, to harness the ability to delimit and address
well-fined problems, and to train students in relating to and
collaborating with relevant problem-owners.
