Utveksling: Computational Engineering - Master of Science Degree Programme (M-COMPEN)
Schedule for the exchange
Students are encouraged to go on a study abroad experience during the 3rd semester of the master's programme in Computational Engineering.
The 3rd semester consists of 30 ECTS credits of flexible courses and electives, or in a first stage of the master’s thesis. During the exchange semester, you can choose courses relevant to the master’s programme, and also depending on personal interests and career opportunities. The courses or the thesis project you want to take abroad must be approved by the department. It is important that the courses from abroad do not overlap with courses you have already taken. An advice is to think about your professional career and your fields of specific interest.
As a reminder, you shall choose at least one non-science/technological course equivalent to 5-10 ECTS (e.g. economics, languages, ethics, project management, green transition or similar).
More opportunities
In addition to the recommended universities listed below, UiS has a number of agreements with universities outside of Europe that are applicable to all students at UiS, provided that they find a relevant course offering. Within the Nordic region, all students can use the Nordlys and Nordtek networks.
Svalbard
Students may choose to take courses at UNIS in Svalbard. More information here.
Contact your study adviser at the faculty if you have questions about guidance and pre-approval of courses.
