Optimization

Companies in Bergen and the rest of Norway optimize: Manufacturers maximize their profit and minimize the costs of their production processes. Transporters seek to find the fastest driving routes. Investors try to compose portfolios with low risks and high expected returns. Ship brokers engage underwriters to create insurances with a smallest possible premium.

Only good optimizers can optimize well, and only well-designed computer algorithms can do the heavy calculations required in challenging optimization processes. In the master's programme in optimization at Department of Informatics, you will learn how to write and implement such algorithms, and learn how to apply them in practice, so that you will become one of the experts who undertake important real-world optimization tasks.
