The degree takes 5 years to complete, with capacity for 25 students per year. Most of the students come from northern Norway, some from other parts of the country and a few foreigners. As the number of students is limited, we have good contact between students and teachers. The social environment is highly informal with time for individual supervision. The students are well motivated with strong individual skills, both in scientific fields and leisurely escapades.
Graduates have no problems finding jobs.
Most of them have moved south in the past, but lately some have found employment in the region.
