This programme offers two specialisations, Structural Engineering and Mechanical Engineering. The specialisations share a common interest in the understanding of how materials and structures react to forces. This is reflected in common courses like mechanics, dynamics, and simulation methods.
Academic requirements
For specialisation in Mechanical Engineering:
A bachelor's degree in mechanical, material, marine, process, structural engineering or equivalent with good foundation within construction, material and/or engineering fluid mechanics is required.
For specialisation in Structural Engineering:
A bachelor's degree in civil engineering or equivalent with minimum 40 ECTS credits of structural engineering specialisation courses is required.
All applicants:
Applicants must have the equivalent of 25 ECTS credits in mathematics, 5 ECTS credits in statistics and 7,5 ECTS credits in Physics.
Admission to this master's programme requires a minimum grade average comparable to a Norwegian C (according to ECTS Standards) in your bachelor's degree. Applicants with a result Second-class lower Division or lower are not qualified for admission.

Frequently asked questions
Here are some of the most common questions we get about this study programme.
Is it possible to complete the study part-time, or remote?
The program is set up as a full-time program, and there are many compulsory group-based assignments in almost all subjects. We therefore do not recommend to study remotely. As the study is a full-time study, it is not possible to get a part-time admission, but a student with admission to a 2-year master's degree has study rights for 3 years. Read about your study rights.
I have previously passed courses at another educational institution. Can I get any of these subjects approved to a new degree?
Yes, it is possible to apply for approval of previously passed courses that are not part of the admission basis to a new degree.
Is it possible to apply for leave from studies?
Yes. You can find more information here.
Do I have the opportunity to go on an exchange during my studies?
Yes! Students can study abroad during the 3rd semester of the master's programme in Structural and Mechanical Engineering.
