Find out what students say about Faculty of Educational Sciences

Wanted to become an expert in higher education

Enzo N. Rossi completed his Master's degree in Higher Education in 2015. Today he works as an external consultant for the University of Oslo's Department of Informatics in their project DHIS2 (District Health Information Software). 

- In my current job, the degree from UiO is going to be especially useful moving forward. The company I work for are expanding into the area of education, and my specific knowledge of that sector is definitely going to be beneficial. 

After moving to Norway and completing his degree, Enzo has a lot of good memories from his years at UiO. 

- My classmates were total stars! I learned a lot from them and their varied backgrounds. I feel like I made many friends through getting involved with student life and events, so I definitely recommend doing that, Enzo tells us.

 

For people with an analytical mindset that are looking for a new challenge

Oscar Skovdahl Jørstad completed his Master's degree in Assessment, Measurement and Evaluation in 2020, he now works at The Norwegian Directorate for Education and Training. 

This program suits people who have an analytical mindset and are looking for a challenge. You can be part of a field that is not quite mainstream yet and still growing. You will acquire skills that are sought after by a growing number of workplaces.

I feel really lucky to get such a relevant job. I am now working with what I studied in the program.
