Om studiet
The four-year master’s program in Bodø offers a hands-on, international approach to computer science. With strong ties to research and industry, students focus on applied problem-solving in close collaboration with the Tromsø department. Ideal for those seeking practical experience and interdisciplinary learning in a dynamic academic environment.
The study programme has a methodological and realist approach, with emphasis on how to plan and realize small scale research projects in selected application areas.
Mandatory topics include software architectures of large, distributed, data-intensive systems, practices in modern software engineering, and methodology and tools for small-scale informatics research projects in realistic application domains. The domains depend on student interest and university collaborating partners.
The programme also provides elective courses from areas such as artificial intelligence, applied machine learning, medical informatics, or energy informatics, according on the student´s choices.
Upon completing this master programme, you will have a thorough research-based foundation for practicing computer science in industry, research and public services. You will be able to analyse problems and work efficiently towards solutions in an organized manner, independently or in teams. You will be able to collect and analyse relevant metrics characterizing your problem and adapt to the related limitations and necessary changes. You can successfully demonstrate the feasibility of a solution through implementing key parts and will be able to design for system quality and lifetime reliability. You will learn about social and ethical issues that apply to computer science, and how to consider these during your professional career.
The study programme consists of mandatory courses in computer science yielding 40 ECTS credits and 20 ECTS credits of elective courses. The electives may be in computer science or other sciences. The programme concludes with a master thesis of 60 ECTS credits.
