Elective courses
Applied AI and Data Science Project 10 ECTS (DATA3750)
In this course, you will acquire an understanding of some of the most important principles of data science and cognitive technologies through project work and online resources.
You will be introduced to fundamental principles of machine learning, data science, and artificial intelligence.
The main focus will be on how to use these principles to solve industrial tasks by using open-source or other data science platforms (for instance IBM Watson).
The goal is to provide you with an introduction to machine learning, data science, and artificial intelligence by using online resources, whilst solving a commercial problem in the form of a comprehensive project work. The project can be carried out during the summer.
The course builds on DAPE1400 Programming and DAPE2000 Mathematics with statistics.
If you do not have basic knowledge of programming and statistics, you must be prepared to put in a considerable individual effort to acquire the prerequisite knowledge.
Teaching methods
The work methods in this course are mainly project work. You are given access to relevant online resources, and receive supervision from an internal and/or external supervisor. You will work in groups of three to five students by completing a project in data science, machine learning or artificial intelligence, in cooperation with relevant external parties such as companies or public organisations. The course can be carried out individually at the approval of the course leader.
The projects are chosen/assigned at the start of the semester.
The supervisor will suggest suitable online courses in AI and data science that you should take during the first few weeks of the course. You are also encouraged to take other courses (cognitiveclass.ai) that will be useful in order to carry out the chosen project assignment.
These courses should be completed before the students start working on their respective projects. They touch upon the following areas, among other things:
- blockchain
- the Internet of Things
- Chat Bots
- advanced use of data science
Exam and assessment
Groups of three to five students submit a project report of 3,000–4,000 words describing how the assignment was carried out, and demonstrating that the students have a fundamental grasp of the technologies and methods employed. In special circumstances, and subject to application, students can submit an individual exam project.
Augmented Reality / Virtual Reality Project 10 ETCS (DATA3760)
You will carry out a project in Augmented Reality or Virtual Reality, preferably in collaboration with a relevant IT-company.
The goal is to provide you with an introduction to AR and VR technologies, whilst solving a commercial problem in the form of a comprehensive project work.
Teaching methods
Completion of the course requires work on the project corresponding to two days a week over a 12-week period. If the project is carried out during the summer, the work must correspond to four days a week over a six-week period.
Supervision sessions with an internal and/or external supervisor. The student groups will be given a basic introduction to AR and VR technology at the beginning of the project period through several online resources.
The students will complete a project in groups of three to five students. The projects are chosen/assigned at the start of the semester at the latest.
Exam and assessment
Groups of three to five students submit a project report of 3,000–4,000 words describing how the assignment was carried out, and demonstrating that the students have a fundamental grasp of Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality technology and their applications. In special circumstances, and subject to application, students can submit an individual exam project.
Health Technology Project 10 ECTS (DATA3770)
You carry out an IT project in cooperation with a relevant health care environment, for instance at the Faculty of Health Sciences at OsloMet.
Completion of the course requires a placement in the relevant health care environment corresponding to two days a week over a 12-week period.
If the project is carried out during the summer, the placement must correspond to four days a week over a six-week period.

Introduction to IT Research 10 ECTS (DATA3730)
A group of students carry out an IT project as part of a research project at OsloMet or another research or educational institution.
The student group is responsible for finding a relevant research project, getting formal approval of participation from the head of the research project, and defining the sub-project the group will complete.
The sub-project must be formally approved by the course leader as relevant and having a suitable theme and scope.
If the research project is not carried out at OsloMet, the head of the research project must appoint a project supervisor. In addition, each student group will be assigned an internal supervisor at OsloMet.
