This programme levels up your engineering education with practical management knowledge about modern industrial assets. You will learn about relevant standards, regulations, best industrial practices and systems (industrial equipment and infrastructure), digitalised and integrated operations, modern industrial maintenance, and enabling technologies of Industry 4.0.
In this study you will gain the asset management mindset where you utilise data and consider risk and consequences, to estimate cost and benefits. This mindset will help you to take optimal decisions about operations and maintenance of facilities like offshore wind farms.
You will mainly learn how to manage modern, digital, advanced, and complex industrial facilities/engineering systems in industrial and public organisations. Furthermore, you will gain skills to manage the life cycle phases of engineering assets such as design, construction, installation, operation, maintenance, and recycling in a sustainable manner.
This MSc programme has a strong international profile with students from all over the world.

Frequently asked questions
Why should I choose UiS?
This study, industrial technology and operations management, is quite unique. There are not many engineering disciplines that focus on technology, operational and management aspects of complex technical systems.
What are the job prospects after completing a master's degree?
If you look at the labor market now, the industrial norm becomes more complicated and more technologically advanced. Students must acquire skill sets and qualifications beyond the traditional engineering subject. This study program is designed to provide the qualifications required of future engineers. Everyone who takes this course is competitive in the job market.
What qualities do students need to succeed?
We need engineers who can think outside the box. If you choose this master's degree, it is an advantage that you are independent, creative and want to be part of the industrial development.
