The MSc programme in Biological Chemistry focuses on important areas of human, animal, and plant health, from the organismal to the molecular and cellular level.
By the end of this programme, you will have acquired practical and theoretical skills in molecular biology, bioinformatics, and protein biochemistry. You will also get experience with many analytical techniques and research methods. Furthermore, you get skills in presenting scientific results.
Are you interested in how cities can become more sustainable, efficient, safe and livable? There is an increasing need for urban planners who understand sustainable urban development and design. The 2-year master's programme in City and Regional Planning qualifies you to understand and shape the cities of the future.
Do you want to solve engineering challenges by using programming and computer modelling?
A master's degree in Computational Engineering will give you knowledge and expertise in engineering, programming and computer modelling. The skillset of Computational Engineering is at the intersection between engineering and data science, and will make you well equipped to contribute to the digitization that is happening across the industry.
Become the expert needed to design secure and performant computer systems for smart digitalisation in society and the industry.
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.
Data Science lets engineering students from different fields become experts in machine learning and Artificial intelligence.
Data Science students will learn to extract relevant information from a compilation of large datasets from different sources. Data Scientists are the experts needed to understand, apply, and improve data driven methods like machine learning and artificial intelligence. The ability to create, manage and exploit data has become one of the most important challenges for practitioners in most industries. Students with expertise in Data Science will be highly sought after in the labor market, where they will contribute to the development of smart solutions and digitisation.
Do you want to lead in the future energy transition?
This MSc programme will prepare you for a career in the energy industry where the next generation of professionals will be applying cutting-edge technology and new ways of thinking to transform the future of energy production. The 2-year study programme will educate you and prepare you for a career in a dynamic and international working environment.
Unlock your potential and make an impact on our planet! This master programme in Environmental Engineering, features a unique emphasis on water resource management.
Water scarcity and pollution pose significant global challenges, this programme equips you with the knowledge and skills needed to develop sustainable solutions. In this study programme, you will explore topics in water quality assessment, treatment technologies, and environmental regulations in order to come up with innovate practical solutions.
Industrial Asset Management brings a modern twist to engineering education. Through this Master's degree, you will acquire expertise in both technical engineering and management that is highly requested in various industrial sectors.
This programme levels up your engineering education with practical management knowledge about modern industrial assets. You will learn about relevant standards, regulations, best industrial practices and systems (industrial equipment and infrastructure), digitalised and integrated operations, modern industrial maintenance, and enabling technologies of Industry 4.0.
The world needs engineers to develop smart and sustainable technologies for the marine and offshore industries. Would you like to contribute to the green transition and the future of the blue economy?
In this programme you will gain key knowledge in the field of marine technology. You will learn about marine and offshore structures, subsea production, offshore aquaculture, offshore renewable energy and fjord crossings. After graduating you are well-equipped to participate in developing new technology, methods and best practices for the marine, offshore and subsea industries.
Do you have a bachelor's degree in mathematics and physics? Then this is the master's degree for you! Mathematics and physics are the foundation for all technological development, and are used in economics, in social studies and in health.
This programme provides you with skills in mathematics, physics and statistics on an advanced level. You will be able to solve complex problems in mathematics and physics. In addition, you will have solid skills in numerical modelling, data analysis and experimental methods to solve problems in the natural sciences, economics, health, social sciences and management.
Norway is recognised worldwide as a leader in the advances of offshore industry, and the University of Stavanger has close ties with the local and international industry.
This master programme will provide you with advanced knowledge of petroleum wells in a life cycle perspective; from design and drilling via operation, control and production, to plugging and abandonment.
Become a risk expert at a time when terrorism, pandemics, climate change and complex technological risks are some of the challenges facing society. With a master’s degree in Risk Analysis, you can analyse, assess, communicate, manage and govern all types of risk.
Society is in a rapid development where conflicts, climate change, diseases and increasing energy needs put pressure on the world’s resources - and create new risk and safety challenges. Change and sustainable development of society is necessary. Working life needs good candidates who can contribute with high competence in risk.
This study programme provides an education in either mechanical or structural engineering, giving you the necessary engineering tools to turn challenges into opportunities.
This programme offers two specialisations, structural engineering and mechanical engineering. These two specialisations share a common interest in the understanding of how materials and structures react to forces. This is reflected in common courses like mechanics, dynamics, and simulation methods.
The Computational Engineering programme has opened numerous doors of opportunities for me in various industries.
