New Courses From Reykjavík University Now Available on the Campus+ Learning Platform
Campus+ is expanding its learning opportunities with a new collection of courses from Reykjavík University, designed for students, researchers, and professionals working across health, neuroscience, rehabilitation, and innovation. These courses offer both foundational knowledge and applied skills—supporting learners who want to deepen their expertise in clinical practice, technology, and research. Below is an overview of the newly added courses.
- Instruments and Vital Signs
This course offers a comprehensive introduction to the field of biomedical instrumentation, focusing on the design, application, and measurement systems used in healthcare.
- Biomechanics
During the course, measurements on human movement in 3D space will be discussed. Gait analysis will be covered as well as a biomechanical analysis of various joints of the body such as the knee, hip, spine, shoulder and wrist. Finally topics regarding how diseases such as osteoporosis, arthritis and other degenerative conditions affect human biomechanics will be discussed.
- Treatment and Rehabilitation of Children
The goal of the course is to teach evidence-based therapies and evidence-based methods for neurodevelopmental disorders in children, and cognitive rehabilitation for children with brain injuries and/or brain function changes.
- Introduction to Clinical Neuropsychology
The historical background of clinical neuropsychology and its development, the current status of the discipline, and possible future development will be reviewed. The status of clinical neuropsychology in Iceland, in the Nordic countries, and elsewhere in Europe will be discussed.
- Applications of Digital Health
The course Applications of Digital Health aims to teach students about the intersection between healthcare and technology in two parts. In the first part the students learn about different ways technology can support existing processes in healthcare or create new ways of prevention, diagnosis, treatment or monitoring of health conditions.
- Practical entrepreneurship for PhDs
This intensive blended learning course equips PhD researchers with the entrepreneurial mindset, skills, and tools needed to transform scientific discoveries into viable innovations and ventures. The course combines online pre-work with a hands-on, 5-day lecture and workshop series (10-14th of November) and aims to give students and researchers an overview about entrepreneurship as well as common business tools and strategies, to be able to assess the commercialization potential of a scientific idea and to develop solutions towards market needs.
- The Ethics of Digital Health
This course aims to equip students with a broad understanding of digital health, emphasizing not only technical skills but also ethical considerations and critical thinking when designing, developing, and implementing digital tools in healthcare settings. The main objective is to set the stage for digital health, in general, and to understand the impact of design, development, and use of digital tools within healthcare settings for optimization purposes, in particular.
