New promotion video for the master programmes
For those of you that could not make it to the Teknovat?ren release on Thursday 27 January, here is the nice video made for the TIK master programme by LINK on master responsible Markus Bugge's initative:
Bli masterstudent hos oss - TIK Senter for teknologi, innovasjon og kultur (uio.no)
The deadline for students' applications to the master programme is 15 April. This academic year TIK can offer a total of 40 places, 25 to students in the TIK programme and 15 to students in the ESST programme. The increase is due to a temporary increased number of student places due to the covid pandemic.
My studies / Mine studier - app
The students' digital portal My studies is now also an app. The students use My studies to get
- schedule with teaching, exams and Canvas assignments
- messages from your courses and study programme
- shortcuts to tools and services
With the app solution they will have a push warning when teaching is cancelled or changed.
