Take a Master in Systems Engineering through part-time study or take modular courses
Master Systems Engineering Part-time study www.hibu.no/MSE
This programme is perfect for engineers looking for careers in systems design and integration or project management.
Enhance your knowledge in Systems Engineering! 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 opportunities With 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.
A perfect arrangement “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.”

Didn’t want to just lean back and take things easy “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.”
