A Master of Science in Informatics from Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) will provide you with skills and research competence that will enable you to solve new and complex challenges caused by the technological development. You will acquire scientific competence within one of the following disciplines:

• Databases and search
• Artificial intelligence
• Software systems
• Interaction design, gaming and learning technology

What can you become? 

With a master’s degree in informatics, you will be qualified for the new working life. Most students secure jobs before they have completed their master’s thesis. Usually, graduates start their working life as developers, frequently followed by jobs as project managers or heads of development groups. General positions in systems design and method development are also common.

After some years in the industry, many will obtain senior positions. Candidates with a master’s degree in informatics will get the same jobs and roles as chartered engineers with a master’s degree in computer technology.  

After the completion of a master’s degree programme, it is possible to apply for admission to a doctoral degree programme (PhD).
