Course contents

The course is based upon ongoing research in the department or relevant needs of the industry, and deepens expertise within a focused application- or research area. Individually or in small groups, students specialize in topics that are approved by members of the academic staff. The topics should be relevant for the specialization profile the students have chosen. The students may be required to present scientific papers.

 Pre-approved course topics:
- Certifications
- eHealth
- Reinforcement learning
- Embedded Systems

- Mobile Radio Communication
- 5G and IoT: Advanced

Be aware that all topics in the seminar courses might not be available every semester.

In addition to the pre-approved course topics, it is possible to propose a certain topic that a student can work on from research groups at UiA or from industry. The course responsible person must approve the topic based on two requirements: (1) The topic should be within the ICT domain and the technical depth of the topic is at Master level. (2) There is an employee at UiA with at least a Master's degree in the relevant field who is the supervisor of the topic.
