Humans and AI in Interaction: Systems, Data Analysis and Learning
Would you like to gain deeper insight into how the interaction between humans and artificial intelligence contributes to learning, creativity and decision-making? Applications are now open for our new series of online Master’s-level courses, starting this autumn.
Introduction
Artificial intelligence (AI) is a technology that affects us all, across a wide range of contexts. ºÚÁϳԹÏ×ÊÔ´ and , is therefore developing a new series of continuing education courses that explore how humans and AI interact in different settings.
The courses are interdisciplinary in nature and provide comprehensive insight into how interaction between humans and AI can enhance learning, knowledge building, creativity and decision‑making. They will equip you with valuable and in‑demand expertise related to the ethical, sustainable and responsible development of hybrid systems that combine human and technological capabilities.
The first three courses in the series will be offered in autumn 2026. Each course runs for approximately six weeks and they are scheduled sequentially, with some overlap. Applications will open shortly, and you apply for each course individually. You may choose to take one or several courses, and it is not necessary to complete the first course in order to enrol in the others.

Apply for courses Autumn 2026
You apply for each course separately. See the admission requirements below.
Admission requirements and Documentation
Please note: These courses are only open to Norwegian citizens or residents of Norway.
Admission requirements
All three courses are offered at Master’s level, and you must therefore document that you meet both of the following admission requirements:
- A Bachelor’s degree, cand.mag. degree, or an equivalent qualification or basic education with a minimum duration of three years / 180 credits
- A minimum of two years of relevant work experience
Particularly extensive and relevant work experience beyond the minimum requirement of two years may, following an individual assessment, replace up to one year of the educational requirement (60 credits).
Required documentation
To enable us to process your application, we must receive documentation showing that you meet the admission requirements:
- Diploma and/or transcript(s) from higher education
- CV
- Documentation of relevant work experience
If you have completed your education at ºÚÁϳԹÏ×ÊÔ´ or at other public universities or university colleges in Norway, we will in most cases be able to access this information directly, and you do not need to upload any documentation.
If you have completed your education at a private institution, abroad, or if a long time has passed since you completed your studies, you will be asked to upload your diploma and transcripts together with your application. Once you log in to register your application, you will find an overview of which educational institutions share results automatically.
You must also upload your CV and documentation of relevant work experience, such as a certificate of employment from previous positions or a confirmation of employment from, for example, your immediate supervisor or HR department, documenting the position held and the duration/scope of the employment.
An employment contract or CV alone is not sufficient documentation.
Study costs
Tuition fees
Each of the three courses has a tuition fee of NOK 8,500 per course.
An invoice for the tuition fee will be issued around the start of the semester.
By default, the invoice will be sent to you personally. If your employer will be covering the tuition fee, the employer must complete a form with invoicing details. You will receive further information about this when we send you confirmation that you have been offered a place on the course.
Semester fee
All students are also required to pay a legally mandated personal semester fee of NOK 650 per semester. This fee is paid to Sammen – the Student Welfare Organisation for Western Norway, and contributes to shared welfare services and facilities for all students.
You will receive further information on how and when to pay the semester fee once you have been offered a place.
Please note that you only pay the semester fee once per semester, even if you take more than one course in the same semester.
