Who is required to take the course
All academic staff at the Faculty of Theology must complete an e-learning course on data protection. New employees must take the course no later than 3 months after appointment.
For PhD candidates, the course is a compulsory part of the research ethics course in research training.
The course is also included as coursework in the students’ methodology course.
About the course
The course will provide a basic overview of the requirements that apply to researchers and students. It is based on EU data protection regulations (GDPR) and consists of four modules:
- Module 1 deals with basic terms and expressions
- Module 2 focuses on fundamental principles within data protection legislation
- Module 3 focuses on obligations and responsibilities when processing data about other people
- Module 4 presents data protection cases from the academic community for a more practical approach to the subject matter
The course is conducted in Canvas. The course takes 2-3 hours to complete and concludes with a data protection quiz. The results from the quiz are stored in Canvas, showing whether you have passed or failed the course. You can take the test several times.
