About this course
With a master's degree in Informatics: Programming and System Architecture, you can reflect on key ethical and scientific issues in relation to your own and others work. You have developed a professional curiosity and have understanding and respect for scientific and academic values such as openness, precision and the importance of distinguishing between knowledge and opinions.
know the theory, methods and techniques for analysis, planning, development and further development of IT systems
understand the possibilities and limitations of IT solutions
have an understanding of the IT systems life cycle: From design, programming, implementation, use, and further development needs
know about social and ethical IT challenges
have a basic understanding of key theories and concepts within your field of study
can follow in the front of your field of study
have thorough knowledge of the analysis, planning, development and further development of IT systems within your field of study
have thorough knowledge of how developments in this field affect society and can assess ethical and social consequences
With a Master of Informatics: Programming and System Architecture you are qualified for many different systems, system development, research and project management in the private and public sectors. Working with IT is varied and includes many different tasks. There is a great need for IT expertise in most industries, and IT-academic background is sought after.
a software developer, such as apps for mobile phones and tablets, web pages or larger computer systems that require deeper insight into computer science
you can work as a leader - for example, lead a group of system developers or a leading program development project
Through the work of writing a master's thesis in computer science, you learn to work independently and to organize and plan your own work within specific deadlines. You learn to apply theoretical and practical knowledge that you have acquired through your study program in your own original work, a master's thesis.
During the master's studies you will also learn to write and work with scientific material - you learn to collaborate with others on research questions and communicate on academic issues, analyzes and conclusions in the field of computer science.

The tables above give examples of courses of study. You can structure the programme differently, for example by starting on your thesis already in the first semester. All courses should normally be completed and passed before the last semester.
Regardless of the choice of programme option, the choice of courses and theme for the Master's thesis is done in consultion with your supervisor during the first semester. There are no mandatory courses, but the different programme options have recommendations of relevant courses. Please see each programme option for more information.
The Master's thesis is an independent research work carried out under supervision. You can choose either a long thesis of 60 ECTS credits, in addition to 60 ECTS credits with courses, or a short Master's thesis of 30 ECTS credits in addition to 90 ECTS credits with courses. At least 30 credits must be from the program structure, lists of recommended courses are found under the programme options. If you choose a long thesis, the work is distributed over several semesters. The submission of the Master's thesis is done on a fixed date in the last semester. If you choose a short Master's thesis the research thesis is placed entirety in the last semester, the theme of the thesis is presented on a given date at the beginning of the semester and the deadline for submission is 17 weeks after this date. The Master's thesis must be presented publicly at the end of the semester. Following the presentation is an oral examination with the sensors and supervisor about the thesis.
You can get guidance from several different research groups offering topics and Master's thesis:
- Distributed multimedia systems
- Information Systems
- Logic and Intelligent Data
- Networks and distributed systems
- Programming and Software Engineering
- Reliable systems
- Cybersecurity
- Wireless Networks and Security
