In connection with admission to the master's program, a master's program plan must be prepared, which includes the courses you wish to take in the 4th year.
The master’s program plan must be made in accordance with the current academic regulation for the master’s program in nanoscience and must be prepared in connection with admission to the master’s program
The selection of courses have to be updated in the master’s program contract through the contract generator, which is then approved by the head od the educational committee Morten Foss.
The natural time to do this would be in April on the 3rd year when registering for courses for the 1st semester of the master’s degree program. At this time, you will be invited to an orientation meeting with the rest of your class, followed by an individual meeting for advice on course selection.
It is possible to change the program during your studies, hence you do not need to have a complete plan for the entire 4th year.
If you later on want to change your course selections from the planned program, you must fill in and submit an updated study program. Although it is possible to make changes along the way, it is important to remember that the study program is binding until the change(s) is approved.
