This programme description was prepared by OsloMet pursuant to the National Curriculum Regulations for Engineering Education, adopted by the Ministry of Education and Research on 3 February 2011.

The Norwegian Qualifications Framework for Higher Education, which was adopted by the Ministry of Education and Research on 20 March 2009 and 15 December 2011, provides an overview of the overall learning outcomes defined in terms of the knowledge, skills and general competence candidates are expected to have achieved on completion of the education. The learning outcomes described in the programme description have been prepared in accordance with the National Curriculum Regulations and the Qualifications Framework.

The Bachelor’s Degree Programme in Software Engineering provides a basic, broad and professions-related education in information technology, focusing in particular on programming, software, software engineering and application development. The programme also comprises system-oriented and technical engineering courses. In addition, the programme comprises several social science and natural science courses, which help to place the education in a broader academic context.

The programme qualifies students for a number of computer science jobs in private and public enterprises, such as programming, software engineering, consultancy services, system operation, user support and user training. The programme also forms a good basis for entrepreneurship and innovative activities. Furthermore, it qualifies students for further education in computer science at master’s degree level at universities and university colleges, for example the master programme Applied Computer and Information Technology (ACIT) at OsloMet.

Software Engineering is a three-year full-time study programme, and candidates who have earned 180 credits will be awarded the degree Bachelor of Software Engineering.

The programme targets applicants with special university and college admission qualifications who want a higher education in information technology, who want to work in computer processing and information technology, and who also want their qualifications to have a natural science profile. Applicants without a natural science background can apply for admission to OsloMet’s introductory course or three-semester scheme to qualify for the engineering programmes.
