Technology and Safety in the High North - master

The program is a 2 years, 120 credits, full-time study at the Department of Technology and Safety. It is an interdisciplinary program founded on engineering science. The program focuses on the technical and safety related challenges associated with industrial activities in the High North. The students are introduced to methods and tools for managing advanced, complex and integrated technical systems with respect to operation and maintenance, reliability and production assurance, health, safety & environmental risk as well as emergency preparedness. Special attention is given to maritime and offshore operations in the harsh and vulnerable Arctic environment.

The Master’s program offer the following disciplines:

Risk and reliability; Focuses on knowledge and skills in risk and reliability theory for complex systems, advanced use of modelling, software and expert judgement, and methods and tools for managing and controlling risk and safety for technological systems.

Nautical science; Focuses on knowledge and skills in theory and regulation regarding ship stability in normal and challenging operation, hydrodynamics and environmental criteria for marine operations, and the use of advanced navigation systems in modern ships.

Automation; Focuses on knowledge and skills in handling of measurement data to design, analyze and/or control advanced processes, and implementation of integrated automation solutions using embedded systems.
