U-Multirank's unique 'Sunburst chart' gives an illustration of a university's performance profile across the five U-Multirank dimensions. These are indicated in different colours. For instance, the teaching and learning dimension is symbolised by the colour green. Each 'sunray' represents one of the thirty plus U-Multirank indicators. The longer the ray, the better the performance of an institution on the selected indicator: a full-length ray stands for 'top group' performance, whereas a short ray means 'weak' performance. A missing sunray indicates that the specific data indicator is not available. An institution's performance in an indicator can be identified by moving the cursor over the rays. A key guard for the sunburst chart is provided here .

De tre første semestrene er felles for alle som begynner på studiet og består av obligatoriske emner som celle- og molekylærbiologi, fire grunnleggende biologi emner, kjemi, matematikk og ex.phil. Studiet består av hele 70 studiepoeng i valgemner. Disse gir deg muligheter til å bygge opp din egen kompetanse, enten du ønsker å fordype deg innenfor et felt du er spesielt interessert i eller om du ønsker å kombinere biologi med et annet fag. Allerede i fjerde semesteret gjør man et veivalg basert på hvilken masterspesialisering man ønsker å studere videre.

Specialization in synthetic chemistry, biological macromolecule chemistry and theoretical and computational chemistry. Molecular Sciences has in recent years emerged as a field somewhat broader than Chemistry, as its activities include methods and technologies which previously were linked to e.g. physics and biotechnology. Molecular Sciences includes the analysis of molecules at all levels, ranging from physical properties, through chemical reactivity, to interactions in larger assemblies, such as in a biological cell.

The Department offers computer science education towards Bachelor, Master's, and PhD degrees. We emphasise the development of students' understanding and skills in designing and implementing computer systems and architectures that are effective, adaptive and useful in solving real problems. Every course has an experimental profile with a significant laboratory component. Our close-knit academic setting implies a good connection between students and teachers. Undergraduate students get access to research laboratories. Students get individual supervision in their projects.

We are concerned primarily with technical aspects of computer science systems research of mobile, distributed and parallel systems and their applications. Research areas include data analytics, cyber security, health technology. The approach is experimental, development of applications, analysis and testing of models, architectures, and mechanisms for mobile, embedded, distributed and parallel applications. Scaling, performance, handling of large feature-rich datasets, heterogeneity, energy-efficiency, autonomy, and componentization are examples of concerns that we address.

The Bachelor programme in computer science give insight in how computers work, how to program them for solving relevant problems. Every course has an experimental approach. Students will learn high- and low-level programming skills, object oriented programming, algorithms, to design and implement an operating system, about computer communication, concurrency, database systems and methodology for software engineering. Mathematical and statistical competence are mandatory in the degree. For minor subjects, you can choose widely, including economy, innovation or languages.

The program covers both the theoretical basis and the experimental methods in computer science. The master level courses are related to the research within the Department. The program consists of 40 ECTS credits in distributed systems, parallel programming, middleware, advanced database systems, green computing, cloud computing, and 20 ECTS elective courses of computer science specialisation or from other relevant fields. The program concludes with a master thesis of 60 ECTS credits. The master thesis may be done in collaboration with a company or another public body.

Th Master's programme consists of 150 ECTS credits in computer science, 30 credits in mathematics/statistics and 10 credits physics. You are also required to take 10 ECTS of examen philosophicum, and 70 ECTS credits in a wide range of elective subjects. The study also includes a 30 credits master thesis. As with the bachelor and master programmes, you are taught how computers work, how to programme them, and how to make them solve complex problems for the users. In your final years, you work closely with our researchers and become involved in their research projects.
