Introduction: In 2007 a master program in sexology was started within the faculty of Health and Society at Malmö University, Sweden. The aim of the program is to offer training on an advanced academic level, according to the Bologna process, to professionals in health care, schools, clinical centers, etc. Moreover, the program aims at attracting students who are interested in a future research career within the field of sexology and sexuality studies. Thus the program focuses on promoting in-depth knowledge about sexuality as a phenomenon and about sexology as a field of practice and science from an interdisciplinary perspective. Special attention is given to the significance of different cultural perspectives on sexuality and also to how research, teaching and training within the sexological field are shaped by the fact that Scandinavian societies today are characterized by ethnic and cultural diversity. The program is closely linked to the research program Gender, Sexuality and Social work at the same faculty (www.mah.se/hs/kssa), which contains different areas of research in the social science field. The members of the resarch program participate as teachers in the master program. Overall the group of teachers and researchers attached to the program are engaged in developing the contents of sexology as field of knowledge and research and its relations to practical and clinical sexological work. Questions: Which pedagogical and theoretical methods and models have been used at the master program? What studies are being conducted within the research program Gender, Sexuality and Social Work? Conclusions: The pedagogical aim is to combine different learning methods in order to adapt new theoretical aspects of sexology, learn new models for working with sexual health in different areas and to reflect among values and attitudes concerning sexuality. Theories from different perspective of sexuality are used, but according to the aim of the program is the social constructive theory especially useful. Lectures are combined with discussions, group papers connected to the theme of the course and individual papers. The students are seen as competent sources that are increasing the level of learning by contributing with their special knowledge in different areas. The research program consist of studies within the fields of prostitution and trafficking, sexuality and violence, homosexuality, hiv and hiv-prevention, masculinities and mens’ parenthood, youth and sexuality, sexuality and disability, treatment of sex offenders, ethnical relations and sexuality, pornography and sexual exposure.

The master student in sexology - a pilot study at Malmö University
Löfgren-Mårtenson, Lotta; Månsson, Sven-Axel (2008) 31st NACS conference, Reykjavik, Sept. 4th-7th, 2008	other

English abstract:

Introduction and objectives: In 2007 a new master program in sexology started at the faculty of Health and Society at Malmö University, Sweden. The aim of the program is to offer an academic education on an advanced level, according to the Bologna process, to midwifes, social workers, psychologists and teachers that aspire to work or already work in the field of sexology. Moreover, the program intends to attract aspiring researchers to continue on a higher level at the university. In the first round, more than 130 applications were submitted by prospective students, 30 were accepted and started their studies in the fall of 2007. A second group will start in the fall of 2008. But who are the master students in sexology? Which are their demographic and professional backgrounds? And what intentions do they have with their studies? Methods: As part of a future study about sexologists as professionals and the professionalization of sexology, a pilot questionnaire study has been conducted, containing. The sample is limited to the first class of master students at the sexology program at Malmö University. At the time of the study they had terminated three out of four courses of their first year of a total of three years. 23 out of 29 students answered completed the questionnaire. Preliminary results: A majority of the students are women (87 %), ages 35-45 (23 % 35-40 years and 23 % 40-45 years). Nearly 70 % are married or cohabit, 13 % are singles or/and divorced. Almost half of the students are social workers (48 %), while nurses (17, 4 %) and midwifes (17, 4 %) are fewer but still well represented. A few are psychologists and one is a teacher. Most of them are professionals with “sexological elements” as a part of their daily work (73 %), mainly of an advisory and/or informative character (65 %). A majority intend to work as sexologists after their master degree (70 %), and more than half of the them wants to begin a research career (56, 6 %). The majority are satisfied with the form and content of master program (64 %), however approximately one third (36, 4 %) is not. The latter demand a more clinical perspective and consider the master program having too much of a sociological focus. On the other hand, the students are aware of that two more years of the master program probably will secure a better balance between the clinical and sociological aspects of sexology. . Conclusions: The interest from professionals to attend a master program in sexology is very extensive, which means that Malmö University has to secure a continued high quality education on an advanced level and offer both competent teachers in the sexological field and supervisors for the master thesis in order to meet the student’s expectations and professional needs. Many of the students also aspire for a research career, which means that Malmö University has to prepare itself for studies on a higher level according to the Bologna process.
