Why choose this programme?

This programme provides multi-disciplinary skills to understand the role information technology plays in society and how technology can be used to solve important tasks.

The master's programme offers five specializations:

  • Systems development in use contexts: how to design IT solutions for and with users
  • Large and complex information systems: how to understand the technical and non-technical factors that large IT-systems deal with
  • IT management: how software engineering projects are managed
  • Interaction design: how to design the interaction between users and various digital devices, services and systems
  • Digital media production: how to understand and design digital media

The master's programme consists of course work (one year) and thesis (one year). The courses are selected in consultation with your supervisor, and this is when the specialization is decided. Note that two of the specializations require particular combinations of courses at Bachelor level. The thesis is normally carried out at the Department of Informatics, but you also have the opportunity to do the work somewhere else, eg. at a research institution or in a business.
