When buying a computer, make sure it meets the minimum requirements. This ensures sufficient processing power and storage capacity, to handle the various task requirements and perform virtualisation.
Note (macOS): Some software may require virtualisation, as it may not be available for macOS or has limited features compared to the Windows version. In such cases, a Windows virtual machine would need to be run inside macOS (which may be limited), or an online service providing Windows hosting would be used. External hosting services are not provided as part of the course fees.
Other options are to perform training in the cloud, using services such as Azure (possibly free) or Weights and Biases (has a free tier, but might not have enough resources to run large models).
Webcam and microphone: Students are expected to communicate with staff and fellow students via video and voice calls. It is recommended to use a good quality headset (headphones + microphone).
When you start the programme, you will receive information about the specific software you need to use for each course.
Noroff has ongoing admissions, and applications are processed in the order they are received. The earlier you apply, the earlier you can secure a study place.
