Competence in physical subjects, mathematical modelling and informatics is in short supply. The methods you use when working on your Master’s project are similar to the methods you will use later on. Large numerical projects demand structure and thorough preparation of the problems that are to be solved.
With this background you will typically go out into the public or private sector as
- an engineer,
- researcher,
- planner, leader or
- operation leader.
You may also work in schools.
Career opportunities are many, from research institutes such as
- SINTEF and
- the Institute for Energy Technology to businesses such as IBM, Hydro, Statoil and Telenor.
The programme will also provide you with the background needed to pursue a PhD.
Researchers from several national and international research programmes take part, through Centres for Excellency and strategic university programmes. Due to a substantial international collaboration, you will have the opportunity to spend part of the time at a research institution abroad. Having completed a PhD will give you a better foundation for research oriented work in private companies, research institutes, university colleges and universities.
