A Master of Science programme extends over two academic years (4 semesters) and constitutes a course load of 120 ECTS credits. All 2-year Master's programmes offer a combination of compulsory and elective courses. In order to graduate from a Master of Science programme a student must have completed all compulsory courses, as well as a sufficient number of elective courses to achieve the total 120 ECTS credits required to complete the programme.

The proportion of compulsory and elective courses varies from programme to programme. However, the following elements are common to all our 2-year MSc programmes in Technology:

A combination of compulsory and elective courses within the MSc degree's academic area
The interdisciplinary project course Experts in Teamwork, 7,5 ECTS
Specialized engineering project within a field related to the student's Master's thesis, 7,5 or 15 ECTS
Specialization course focusing on a topic related to the student's specialized engineering project, 7,5 ECTS
Master's thesis, 30 ECTS
In addition to courses in Engineering, the majority of our programmes also include a 7,5 ECTS non-technical course in areas such as Economics, Management, Marketing, Cultural Studies, Political Science, Foreign Languages, Psychology or similar (Complementary course).

In Norway, at least 80 ECTS credits are required for a programme to be accepted as a specialization. In Engineering education all credits, except those given in non-technological subjects, count towards fulfilling this requirement.
