KAU Doctoral Courses is a database with doctoral courses at Karlstad University.
Date: Starting on 6th September of 2017; two whole-day on-site lectures + 1 workshop at Karlstad University (Sweden) + distance learning modules
Demonstrate the advanced levels of understanding of theories of parametric and non-parametric statistical modelling for research on population-based epidemiological data.
Analyze data for research projects to clarify the relationship among multiple variables with proper statistical models.
The student should be currently enrolled in any doctoral program or post-doctoral program. The admission priority may be given to the students from the department of health sciences.
The grading/evaluation will be based on two components. First, the students are expected to take the written examination (in the form of multiple-choice questions). The purpose of the written examination is to evaluate the individual level of understanding of statistical modelling related to variable selection (Learning outcome 1). The results of the written examination will account for 50% of the final grade. Another part of assignment in the form of oral presentation will account for 50% of the final grade. Each student will present her or his analysis results and receive the on-site feedback. The instructor/examiner will evaluate her or his performance to see if the individual student has achieved Learning Outcomes 2 and 3.
Each syllabus states target group and eligibility, which should be based on the prerequisites necessary to understand and process the content of the course. Syllabi and scheduled course meetings are posted on the course portal web page for the doctoral level, which is also open to the public.
Doctoral students who wish to take a course should sign up according to instructions on the course portal.
Admitted students must meet the requirements stated in the syllabus. If there are more prospective students than the teaching capacity allows, priority is given to students as follows:
The appointed course convener decides on admission of students to a doctor level course in accordance with the order of priority stated above.
Upon completion of the course, the course convener issues a course certificate with a proposed grade to the students.
I kursplan anges målgrupp och behörighet. Behörighet ska utgå från de förkunskaper som behövs för att tillgodogöra sig kursens innehåll.
Kursplaner och planerade kurstillfällen görs tillgängliga på en webbsida: kurstorg för forskarnivå, som även görs tillgänglig externt.
Forskarstuderande som önskar följa en kurs ska anmäla detta enligt anvisning på kurstorget.
Studerande som ges tillträde ska uppfylla de behörighetskrav som anges i kursplanen. Om fler önskar följa kursen än vad undervisningskapaciteten tillåter görs prioritering enligt nedan.
Den som institutionen utsett som kursansvarig beslutar om vilka som får delta i en kurs på forskarnivå, i enlighet med prioritetsordningen ovan.
Efter genomförd kurs och prov lämnar kursansvarig ett intyg med förslag på betyg till kursdeltagarna.
