What you will study
What you study
This bachelor's programme is built on a "thinking in systems and thinking for systems" approach. You learn how technology systems, coordinated networks of hardware, software, data and people, deliver a function. The curriculum blends scientific understanding of system behaviour, modelling and complexity with engineering skills to design, prototype, test and iterate real systems.
You take at least 70 ECTS in theoretical and experimental courses focused on systems science and engineering. Another 70 ECTS cover programming, mathematics and physics. The remaining 30 ECTS are yours to design: you can take more courses at the Department of Technology Systems (ITS), explore other departments at the University of Oslo, or go on exchange in Norway or abroad.
You can specialise in one of five technological systems: energy, space, healthcare, robotics, or cyber-physical security. Or you can explore different domains before choosing. Teaching combines lectures, seminars, project-based work groups and hands-on laboratory work. The programme connects engineering with social and environmental sciences, law and the humanities, so you deal with sustainability, justice, privacy, ethics and regulation in emerging technologies.
Admission, language and next steps
