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:
- INF1100 – Introduction to programming with scientific applications (continued)/IN1900 – Introduction to Programming with Scientific Applications
- INF1000 – Introduction to object-oriented programming (continued)/IN1000 – Introduction to Object-oriented Programming
- MAT-INF1100 – Modelling and computations
- MAT-INF1100L – Programming, Modelling and Computations (continued)/MAT-IN1105 – Programming, Modelling and Computations
- BIOS1100 – Innf?ring i beregningsmodeller for biovitenskap
- IN-KJM1900 – Introduksjon i programmering for kjemikere
- 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, INKJM1900?or?GEO-KJM1040,?and the 40 ECTS credits of advanced undergraduate courses at 2000?level or higher.
The admission requirements stated above apply for until the Autumn 2026 admissions. New requirements will apply for Autumn 2027 admissions and onwards, which you can read more about below:
