Take a Master in Systems Engineering

through part-time study or take modular

courses

This programme is perfect for engineers looking for careers in systems design and integration or project management.

Study while you work You now have the opportunity to take a four-year part-time master’s degree

programme in Systems Engineering while you work, or take modular courses to

enhance your professional competence in specific Systems Engineering subjects.

Systems Engineering is a recognized method for developing systems in sectors such as

the auto industry, oil industry, data processing, networks, defense, the energy and

transportation sectors and research and development.

Job and career opportunitiesWith a Master in Systems Engineering, you will be qualified to work with and lead

development work leading to complex products and systems that require knowledge of

multidisciplinary subject areas. Taking individual courses will give you new perspectives

and in-depth understanding of how to lead development work on large and demanding

projects.

Enhance your knowledge in Systems Engineering!

“By taking the master’s degree part-time alongside my full-time job, I can continue to keep my career development on track and retain my salary at the same time. This is a perfect arrangement for me.”

Jostein S Hole has an exciting and demanding job as Lead Engineer in the Ekofisk

project for FMC Technologies.

The former top cyclist was a qualified mechanical engineer when he started at FMC

Technologies in 2005. “I see how easy it is to get bogged down in set routines when

you work in such a large company like this. The programme in Systems Engineering

is an eye-opener with respect to the processes I am involved in on an everyday basis.

Communication with BUC has been very good. The professors are very professional.

You sit and follow the course for eight hours a day for a week. And that is quite

amazing, really.”

A perfect arrangement

Modular courses

For students who want to build up

their technical knowledge rather

than take the master’s degree.

You can participate in specific

courses and choose to stop after

taking the relevant exam.

Study models

Common Systems Engineering subjects:

• Fundamentals of Systems Engineering

• System Architecture and Design

• Systems Integration

• Project Management of Complex Systems

Electives from one of the following subject areas:

• Control and Signal Processing

• Product Design

• Systems Engineering

• Embedded Systems

The part-time master’s degree

programme is intended for students

who want to study while they work.

In addition to the master’s degree,

you will enjoy other benefits such as:

Language experience

years

Knowledge to prepare youfor the future!

Part-time programme, 4 years

“I didn’t want to just lean back and relax,” says Bjørnar Wiulsrød. So he signed up for a part-time master’s programme in Systems Engineering.

Bjørnar Wiulsrød has worked for Kongsberg Maritime (formerly Norcontrol) since

1980. He took his engineering training at BUC in Kongsberg, with cybernetics as his

area of specialisation.

“A master’s programme teaches you to work according to methods that are proven

and recognized in many industries and companies. I find that I understand relations in

a different way than I did before. It’s exciting to be able to apply the theories I learn to

current projects.

You live and learn, but the main difference for me is that I now have a framework on

which I can drape my newly-acquired knowledge. Whatever I may lack in terms of

youthful dynamics and vitality, I make up for with experience.”

Didn’t want to just lean back and take

things easy

The part-time programme is based on the following elements:

The language of instruction will be English (written and oral).
