A master programme in cooperation with OsloMet—Oslo Metropolitan University—which aims to teach the theory, principles and practice of system management, including network and system design, analysis, efficiency and security.

Network and System administration is about putting together a networked system of computers, software (workstations, PC's and supercomputers), getting and keeping them running in spite of the activities of users who tend to cause the parts of the system to fail.

Today, system administration is normally learned without any systematic training. It is passed on randomly, rather than being taught systematically. This is slowly changing, but the courses available are still mainly product specific certifications sold by companies with a vested interest in their products.
