Master's Programme in Informatics

This Master's programme in Informatics is designed for students who have completed a bachelor's degree and wish to deepen their expertise in informatics. It equips you with the skills and research capabilities to address complex societal challenges through the design and development of digital products and services, with a focus on sustainability. You can specialise in several areas across two campuses: Trondheim offers specialisations in Artificial Intelligence, Databases and Search, Software Engineering, and Interaction Design, Gaming, and Learning Technology. Gjøvik offers specialisations in Programming and Security Engineering, and Visual Informatics. The programme is taught entirely in English and qualifies you for advanced study or doctoral programmes. Learning involves practical projects from the first semester, often in interdisciplinary teams, and a significant focus on thesis work. The programme aims to provide both academic competence and the ability to apply technical expertise to real-world problems, considering ethical and societal implications.

Master's Thesis in Computer Science: Interaction Design, Game and Learning Technologies

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.

Norwegian University of Science and Technology - Study Programmes

NTNU, the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, offers a wide range of study programmes designed to equip students with solid knowledge to shape the future. With a strong emphasis on science and technology, NTNU provides opportunities for in-depth learning and research. The university encourages students to explore various academic paths, including master's programmes taught entirely in English, and fosters a vibrant student life alongside academic pursuits.

Visual Computing

The Visual Computing Group at NTNU focuses on research and education within Computer Graphics, Computer Vision, Image Processing, Extended Reality, and Visualization. Our goal is to advance theoretically interesting topics that benefit society. The Visual Computing Laboratory is a core part of several NTNU educational programs, fostering innovation and collaboration. We actively engage in high-impact research, often amplified through partnerships with institutions like MIRA (Medical Imaging Research and AI), the Gemini Center for Extended Realities (GeminiXR), the Norwegian Open AI Lab, and ARM Trondheim. Our work pushes the boundaries of how humans and machines perceive and interact with both the digital and physical environments.
