Admission
Students who are admitted to study programmes at UiO must each semester register which courses and exams they wish to sign up for in Studentweb.
If you are not already enrolled as a student at UiO, please see our information about admission requirements and procedures.
Prerequisites
Formal prerequisite knowledge
In addition to fulfilling the Higher Education Entrance Qualification, applicants have to meet the following special admission requirements:
-
Mathematics R1 (or Mathematics S1 and S2) + R2
And in addition one of these:
- Physics (1+2)
- Chemistry (1+2)
- Biology (1+2)
- Information technology (1+2)
- Geosciences (1+2)
- Technology and theories of research (1+2)
The special admission requirements may also be covered by equivalent studies from Norwegian upper secondary school or by other equivalent studies (in Norwegian).
Recommended previous knowledge
MAT1001 – Mathematics 1 (discontinued). If you have the course MAT1000 – Mathematics for applications I (discontinued) you should choose MAT1010 – Mathematics for applications II (discontinued) instead of MAT1011 – More Mathematics (discontinued) to avoid overlap.
Overlapping courses
- 7 credits overlap with MAT1010 – Mathematics for applications II (discontinued)
- 3 credits overlap with MAT1000 – Mathematics for applications I (discontinued)
- 3 credits overlap with MAT1110 – Calculus and Linear Algebra
- 3 credits overlap with MAT1120 – Linear Algebra
- 10 credits overlap with MAT1012 – Mathematics 2 (discontinued)
*The information about overlaps is not complete. Contact the Department for more information if necessary.
Teaching
4 hours of lectures and 2 hours of problem sessions in plenum per week. Exercises in groups with guidance.
Examination
Two compulsory assignments need to be passed within given deadlines to be allowed to take the final exam.Final mark based on written examination at the end of the semester.
Rules for compulsory assignments at the Department of Mathematics (norwegian only).
