The student should, on completion of the course, be able to:

1. Describe physiological processes during stress
2. Describe how people are influenced by psychosocial and stress-related factors
3. Explain the relationship between private life, work, society and stress
4. Suggest and implement appropriate strategies for stress management at the individual, group, and organisation levels

The studies are based on active individual work that includes literature studies, individual assignments and several group assignments. An active participation in the course is therefore necessary. The course is also given as a module in the health guidance programme. The program has a consistent pedagogical strategy that stimulates an active learning where team development, career planning and the creation of a personal portfolio are recurrent elements in the courses. The group work aims to develop skills that can only be trained through interaction and the sharing of experience with others.

The course objectives are examined according to the following: Objectives 1-4 individual and group written assignments. Grading criteria for pass and pass with distinction are described in the study guide

The education is organised as distance learning with a slower study tempo. Study supervision is provided in the course room in Canvas.
