The area of Information Technology, Mathematics and Physics is a subfield within the doctoral programme in Science and Technology at UiS.
About the subfield
The subfield has specialisations in cybernetics / signal processing; computer science; physics and mathematics. The doctoral programme is linked to the research within each of these specialisations.
Departments
Computer Science and Electrical Engineering and Mathematics and Physics.
Target Audience
Students with master’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Mathematics or Physics.
Study Courses
One of the following is to be chosen:
- DAT912 Formal Methods for Specifying Systems (10 credits)
- DAT940 Study Courses in Computer Technology (10 credits)
- ELE922 Biomedical data analysis (10 credits)
