For students from the EU/EEA/EFTA the only cost of this programme is the semester fee (student.oslomet.no) of approximately NOK 1,000, which you pay each semester of the programme. For these students there are no tuition fees.

For students from countries outside the EU/EEA/EFTA there are tuition fees in addition to the semester fee (student.oslomet.no).

In this study program, you need a laptop with Windows 11. Here is a guide to help you choose the right machine.

Operating System

In this study programme, you will use several software programs that only run on the Windows operating system. We recommend that you get a laptop — not a Mac. It is a requirement that the machine runs Windows 11.

If you want to use Windows on a Mac, it requires high performance from the Mac and is often disproportionately expensive while not working as effectively. There is no support for this setup at the university.

Graphics (GPU)

You will need a laptop for 3D modeling of buildings, already in the first semester. We recommend a "gaming laptop" with powerful graphics cards suitable for modeling. The GPU should be at minimum Nvidia RTX 3050 or Radeon RX6600, with at least 6GB of video memory.

Memory (RAM)

The laptop should have at least 16GB of memory. Preferably 24GB or more.

Processor

The processor should be Core i5 with several cores or equivalent, preferably better. The processor should have a clock speed of 2GHz or higher.

Storage

The hard drive should be 500GB or more. We recommend SSD.

The largest online retailers in Norway offer good solutions and good deals for gaming laptops.

This specialization concerns the analysis, calculation, design and management of transport infrastructure systems.

Roads and railways are typical transport infrastructure systems. They must be well designed and managed to provide safe and robust support for traffic that is constantly changing with advances in transport technology.

In addition, account must be taken of increasing demand for multimodal, future-oriented forms of transport.

Existing transport infrastructure systems must also be safeguarded to provide safe functionality.

The specialization is based on theory and applied skills. 

Programme description (student.oslomet.no)

The programme is divided into compulsory and optional subjects in addition to a master's thesis, and stimulates collaboration, self-activity, reflection and new thinking.

You will participate in academic discussions, and we encourage you to participate actively in the teaching.

Have you already worked as a construction engineer or consultant? Then we encourage you to ask questions and talk about how you have done it where you have worked.

Throughout your studies, you will come into contact with the construction industry and potential employers through seminars, guest lectures and excursions. In this way, you get a closer insight into the complexity of a construction project.

Most of the project tasks are carried out in groups, so that you and your fellow students can exchange experiences and discuss possible solutions to a problem. 

You will get a variation of  

• lectures
• practical tasks
• computer based tasks
• project work
• group work
• excursions
• lab work
• presentations 

This overview shows all the specialisations in the Master's Degree Programme (MSc) in Civil Engineering. The subjects in Transport Infrastructure Engineering are listed per academic year under the heading "Transport Infrastructure Engineering".

When you hold this master’s degree, you have expertise that is in high demand in both the private and public sector.

Your most relevant employers are advisory engineering firms, contractors, construction clients, municipalities and research institutes.

With a specialization in Transport Infrastructure Engineering, you are particularly well qualified for jobs such as engineering and advisory positions at engineering consulting firms, contractors, builders, municipalities, and research positions at universities and research institutions.

This degree can also qualify you for further studies at the doctoral degree level, depending on your specialization and grades.

When you complete the master's degree programme you will be awarded the degree of Master of Science (MSc) in Civil Engineering, within Transport Infrastructure Engineering. Then you have skills that are in high demand in both the private and public sectors.

This master’s degree programme is designed to meet the National Council for Technological Education’s (UHR-NRT) conditions for use of the additional Norwegian designation “sivilingeniør” (siv.ing.) on diplomas for master’s degree programmes in technology.
