Algorithms
The Bergen Algorithms Research Group is researching effective and efficient algorithms to make computer programs run as fast as possible.

About the research group
The algorithms group is based at the Department of Informatics, and has a special focus on hard decision problems, so-called NP-complete problems. The group is also heavily involved in the organization of yearly activities such as the The Nordic Collegiate Programming Contest and The Norwegian Olympiad in Informatics.
Study with our group
Bachelor's degree
As a student of informatics, there are several courses that you can take that are hosted by the algorithms group.
Master's degree
A Master's degree in informatics with a specialization in algorithms has a focus on the development and improvements of algorithms and computer programs, so that problems and challenges can be solved in the best and fastest way on computers. The aim is to find the best and most effective methodology, either through analysis, or through practical testing.
This Master's degree programme also includes fundamental aspects of algorithms, such as identification of problems that are hard to solve on computers. In these situations, development of alternative solutions is the main focus. Each of the faculty members supervise master projects.
Positions at our group
To do a PhD in Norway, you have to apply to an announced PhD position. When we have new projects in our group, we announce available PhD positions on our web pages and via . You can apply to one of those and indicate your interest in algorithms. Postdoctoral and other positions are announced on the same website.
