How is the teaching organized?
The programme is offered on campus in Narvik as a two-year full-time or three- and four-year part-time degree. Part-time study is intended for working students or those unable to study full time. Collaboration with a company is recommended and may provide opportunities for a company-based master’s thesis. The three-year option requires approximately 75% study time, while the four-year option requires 50%.
Part-time study is not available to non-EU/EEA applicants.
A digital refresher course in linear algebra is offered before the programme begins.
Teaching combines traditional and flipped-classroom methods, including lectures, digital resources, problem solving, coursework, projects, laboratory work, group activities, and self-study. Coursework requirements must be approved before assessment. Examinations may be written, oral, combined, group-based, or portfolio-based. Some courses require HSE training and physical attendance in laboratories or fieldwork. See the study plan and course descriptions for details.
