The Master of Applied Computer Science – Software Integration at Kristiania University College focuses on practical training with theoretical grounding. Students complete technical examination assignments that include both technical, business, and academic perspectives, with each assignment contributing across these areas. Students also develop work that can be relevant for publishing to conferences and magazines, and it is described as relevant for technical master thesis work.
Teaching is organised so that one subject runs at a time for one month. Exam assignments are solved over 2–4 weeks, partly while teaching is ongoing, and can be completed in groups or individually. Work includes written and oral elements. Students develop a technical artifact and a report that connects research and foundations to show why the work is relevant for academic and business areas. Timetables include weeks of lectures from 09–14 and weeks focused on research, discussions, writing, and development.
The master includes planning for parts of the master thesis to be carried out in a company. The course is described as preparing students for job and internship interviews, with emphasis on course relevance over time. It also includes participation in a student environment with international students who exchange and study full-time.
