What you will study
What you study
This master's programme at the University of Oslo is a collaboration between the Department of Physics and the Department of Informatics. Electronics and computer science underpin progress in communication, logistics, medicine, research and entertainment, and the programme is built to give you the background to take part in that development.
You choose one of two programme options:
- Microelectronics and Sensor Technology
- Signal Processing and Imaging
A substantial project of 60 credits is the core of the degree. You work on it in close cooperation with established research communities, so the training is research related. The programme also aims to give you vocational insight and to sharpen your analytical skills, so you can contribute within research and innovation and in areas where technology matters, such as energy and environment, medicine and health, information and communication technology, transport, the food industry and management.
Admission, language and next steps
The programme is taught in English and carries 120 ECTS over two years. It is a master's degree at a state university, so students from the EU/EEA and Switzerland are normally exempt from tuition fees, while other degree students normally pay a fee the institution sets. Check the programme page for the entry requirements, application deadline and application system, since the institution sets these.
New students start the semester with joint meetings for the whole cohort, where you meet staff and students from both years, academically and socially. If you have questions about the practicalities of studying or need guidance, you can contact the programme. Student life at UiO includes over 200 students' unions, among them the Students' Electronics Union tied to this programme, which arranges company presentations and vocational social get-togethers. Exchange agreements exist in Canada, and it is also possible to go to countries such as the United States, France, Italy and the Czech Republic. If you are academically ambitious, you can add an honours certificate of 20 credits alongside the master's.

Before you apply
Master’s applications go straight to University of Oslo, not through the national admission service (NUCAS). Study in Norway states that you need a bachelor’s degree comparable to a Norwegian bachelor’s degree (180 ECTS), including courses equal to at least one and a half years of full-time study relevant to the programme. Deadlines are set by each institution for each programme, so confirm yours. Entry requirements and language tests are also set by the institution, so start from the official programme page. Our guides cover tuition fees, study permits and housing.
Facts on this page come from the Study in Norway register, the official English-programme list run by HK-dir, the Norwegian Directorate for Higher Education and Skills. Fees are in NOK as the institution lists them. "Not listed" means the register has no figure, not that the programme is free. Always confirm requirements, fees and deadlines with the institution.
