  • I want to study at NTNU as an undergraduate student.
    How do I proceed?
  • If you want to study at NTNU as a regular student on undergraduate level, you have to learn Norwegian first, as knowledge of Norwegian is an admission requirement. We offer a one-year full-time course in Norwegian for students who would like to study at NTNU but lack knowledge of Norwegian. The course starts in August every year, and the application deadline is 1 December the year before you intend to start your studies. After you have passed the Norwegian course, you may continue to study at NTNU within your chosen field. You will find more information about this course on our website at http://www.ntnu.no/international/gry/norskkurs/html/ifus_1-year_full_time_program.html
    If you can document knowledge of Norwegian, you should apply through the Universities and Colleges Admission Service (UCAS) in Norway. You will find more information on their website at http://www.samordnaopptak.no/english, and the application deadline for applicants with a foreign education background is 1 March the same year you intend to start your studies.
  • I want to study at NTNU as a master’s student.
    How do I proceed?
  • We are currently offering 23 international master’s programmes at NTNU. These programmes are open to applicants who have completed a bachelor’s degree or equivalent in their home country. It is possible to apply for a scholarship through the Quota Scheme for these programmes if you are employed at one of NTNU’s collaborating institutions in Africa, Asia, Latin America and Eastern Europe. It is also possible to apply for a NORAD scholarship. Please see SiU’s website at http://siu.no/vev.nsf/o/norad for more information. All the programmes start in August, and the application deadline is 1 December the year before you intend to start your studies. If you intend to apply as a self-financing student, the application deadline is extended until 15 May the same year you intend to start your studies.

    • Applicants to our international master’s programmes: 1 December the year before you intend to start your studies for applicants within the Quota Scheme, 15 May the same year that you intend to start your studies for students with individual funding.

  • Do you offer Norwegian courses?
  • Yes, we do. There are basically two different Norwegian courses offered at NTNU, an intensive summer course that lasts for 3-4 weeks, and a course that runs for the whole semester with an exam at the end of the course. The intensive summer course is mainly intended for exchange students who are coming to NTNU in the Autumn semester and need to obtain some knowledge of Norwegian first, whereas the semester course is intended for students/ employees at NTNU who are staying in Norway for some time. Everyone with a residence permit in Norway may apply for this course, however, and some places are reserved for applicants that are not connected to NTNU.
