The required specialisation consists of 120 ECTS credits?where the?following,?or equivalent, courses are included:
MAT1100 – Calculus MAT1110 – Calculus and Linear Algebra MAT1120 – Linear Algebra - One of the following courses:
IN1900 – Introduction to Programming with Scientific Applications /INF1100 – Introduction to programming with scientific applications (continued)IN1000 – Introduction to Object-oriented Programming /INF1000 – Introduction to object-oriented programming (continued)MAT-INF1100 – Modelling and Computations (discontinued) MAT-INF1100L – Programming, Modelling and Computations (continued) /MAT-IN1105 – Programming, Modelling and Computations (discontinued)BIOS1100 – Introduction to computational models for Biosciences (discontinued) IN-KJM1900 – Introduction to Programming for Chemists GEO-KJM1040 – Introduction to programming with applications in geosciences and in chemistry (discontinued)
- 80 ECTS credits within at most two of the fields of astrophysics, bioscience, chemistry, computer science and informatics, geoscience, mathematics, materials science, mechanics and physics.
- 40 of these 80 ECTS credits?have to be advanced undergraduate courses, corresponding to UiO courses at 2000 level or higher.
A?minimum grade average of C?(Norwegian grading scale), or equivalent, is required and calculated from MAT1100, MAT1110, MAT1120, either INF1100/IN1900, INF1000/IN1000, MAT-INF1100, MAT-INF1100L/MAT-IN1105, BIOS1100, IN-KJM1900?or?GEO-KJM1040,?and the 40 ECTS credits of advanced undergraduate courses at 2000?level or higher.
Beyond the required specialization, we strongly recommend that you have completed 20 ECTS of courses similar to the following:
