Here is a list of courses offered in English at our department .
Please note that most of our bachelor-level classes are given in Norwegian.
A course usually has a credit value between 5 and 20 credits. A full-time student takes courses worth 30 credits per semester.
All courses at the university have a unique code consisting of letters and numbers. The letters often reflect the course’s subject area or the course name: for example, IN means “Informatics”. The numbers usually have four digits, where the first digit indicates the level of study for the course:
- 1 = basic courses at bachelor's degree level
- 2/3 = secondary courses at bachelor's degree level
- 4/5 = courses at master's degree level
- 9 = courses at PhD level
A course description will always list special admission requirements.
To be able to follow our master's courses you will need a bachelor's degree or equivalent in the subject you want to study:
Please note that the same course may exist with two different codes. Here is an example: IN4200 – High-Performance Computing and Numerical Projects and IN3200-High-Performance Computing and Numerical. The difference between the two courses is that the 3xxx course may be used in a bachelor's degree, and the 4xxx course may be used in a master's degree. Both courses cover the same curriculum, however, they have different examinations/assessments.
