Adoption of Artificial intelligence, and continued digitalisation, in both industry and society at large, requires increasingly complex computer systems. With a master in Computer Science, you become the expert needed to architect, develop, and deploy such systems and ensure their security and performance.
Building on a bachelor in computer science, the master covers a broad range of more advanced topics, including network security and efficient data processing. You will learn to design and implement systems that utilize complex infrastructure, including the cloud, wireless networks and blockchain. Furthermore, you will also learn about the technology behind Artificial intelligence.
The programme places a strong emphasis on practical skills, offering hands-on experience. You apply and extend your knowledge in programming assignments and course projects.
You can write your master thesis in collaboration with industry, and participate in innovation and research.
Academic requirements
A bachelor´s degree within the following disciplines is required:
- Computer Engineering
- Computer Science, Informatics or similar with at least 50 ECTS credits in computer science/computer engineering
Applicants must have the equivalent of 20 ECTS credits in mathematics or statistics
If you have completed studies/courses outside the University of Stavanger, you must upload course descriptions that have clearly defined curriculum (learning outcomes), together with your transcript of records. The course names and codes on the course descriptions must match the transcript of records. If you do not provide course descriptions, you might risk your application to not be prioritized.
The course descriptions should be submitted in English or in Norwegian, but a translation does not have to be provided by an authorized translator.
Admission to this master's programme requires a minimum grade average comparable to a Norwegian C (according to ECTS Standards) in your bachelor's degree. Applicants with a result Second-class lower Division or lower are not qualified for admission.
