Student research

The research group is interested in initiating a project focused on student research. Several members of the group already practice research-based teaching and routinely incorporate research projects into students’ assignments, giving students hands-on experience in formulating questions, collecting and analysing data, and communicating findings.

Strengthening student research at HIØ is important because it deepens student learning, increases academic engagement, and builds transferable skills—critical thinking, project management, and scientific communication. In addition, actively involving students in research enhances the institution’s academic profile, fosters collaboration between staff and students, and helps prepare graduates for advanced study and the labour market.
