The Master's Thesis in Computer Science focuses on Interaction Design, Game Technologies, and Learning Technologies. This course is the core component of your master's degree program, spanning two semesters. It requires you to undertake independent scientific work, demonstrating your understanding of current research (state-of-the-art) and relevant theories and methods applicable to your chosen thesis topic. The work involves self-study of scientific articles and books under the guidance of a faculty supervisor. Depending on the thesis type, activities like case studies or empirical experiments may be included. Submissions are typically made at the end of each semester.
The Master's Thesis is divided over two semesters. In the first and second semesters of the master's program, students explore potential thesis topics and identify faculty supervisors. The third and fourth semesters are dedicated primarily to working on the master's thesis itself.
This course is intended for students admitted to a specific master's program track.
Tuition fees are generally not applicable at Norwegian public universities. The stated living cost is an estimate and may vary.
The Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) is a well-regarded institution, and its programs are accredited by relevant national and international bodies.
The Master's Thesis component itself spans two semesters, typically undertaken during the third and fourth semesters of a master's program. It is worth 60 credits.
Public universities in Norway, including NTNU, do not charge tuition fees for international students. However, students should be aware of a small semester fee and estimated living costs of approximately 137,700 NOK per academic year.
To undertake the Master's Thesis (IT3906), students must have successfully completed the first two semesters of their master's program at NTNU. This course is a core component for students already admitted to a relevant master's program.
You must first apply to and be admitted into the relevant Master's program in Computer Science at NTNU through the official university application portal. The Master's Thesis course (IT3906) is a component of that broader program, typically started after the first two semesters.
