The village

  • Is based at the Department of Geography
  • Runs throughout the semester (langsgående landsby)
  • The language of tuition is English
  • Background/competence: the village fits both Gløshaugen and Dragvoll based study profiles. In other words the village is open to all fields (technical, social scientific, humanistic) – but students should have a keen interest in restructuring/ transformation/renewal processes (towards sustainability and reduced environmental impacts) of industries and/or regions.
