Program details

Overview

Frie realfag is a one-year flexible programme in which students choose their own science courses from biology, data science, physics, geoscience, informatics, chemistry, mathematics and statistics. It suits students who want to try several science subjects before choosing a degree, or who want a base in science for further study or for teaching qualifications in biology, physics, chemistry, mathematics, geoscience or natural science. The programme awards no degree but gives a basis for further study at NMBU or other institutions, and approved course groups allow students to widen their teaching qualification. The course runs full time for one year at the Ås campus and carries 60 ECTS.
