The Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) in Trondheim

The Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) in Trondheim represents academic eminence in technology and the natural sciences as well as in other academic disciplines ranging from the social sciences, the arts, medicine, architecture to fine arts. Cross-disciplinary cooperation results in ideas no one else has thought of, and creative solutions that change our daily lives.

Established in 1996 as a further development of the University of Trondheim (UNiT). UNiT was established as a result of merger between The Norwegian Institute of Technology (NTH), The College of Arts and Sciences (AVH) and the Museum of Natural History and Archaeology (VM).

The Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) in Trondheim has an 800-year tradition in education that goes back to the first cathedral school established in Norway in the year 1210. Since that school opened its doors to a select few, university life in Trondheim has undergone many changes. NTNU was established in 1996 and merged the Norwegian Institute of Technology (NTH), the College of Arts and Sciences and the Museum of Natural History and Archaeology. NTNU offers professional degrees, university studies and interdisciplinary programmes of study and master´s degrees in English.

The staff at the Office of International Relations at NTNU helps incoming international students as well as students and staff at NTNU.

There are two main campuses at NTNU: the Gløshaugen Campus and the Dragvoll Campus. Some faculties have facilities on both campuses but there is a majority of technological studies at Gløshaugen and a majority of studies of arts and social sciences at Dragvoll.
Some departments are on other campuses.

Academic year
Each academic year at NTNU is divided into two semesters. The autumn semester starts in August. There is an orientation for international students the week before which includes the matriculation ceremony. Lectures are held until the beginning of December. Exams are in December and January, with vacation before and after Christmas. The spring semester starts in January and lectures end at the end of April/beginning of May. Exams are from May until mid June. There are some courses being given during the summer.

The Student Parliament represents the highest level of student organization at NTNU. They work with the leading administrative and strategic level at the university, and we are engaged in matters that concern all students.

The Student Parliament consists of 25 students from all faculties. The Parliament chooses its own leadership, which consists of three people. These three are engaged full time, and are together with three representatives of the Student Parliament in charge of the day-to-day work of the organization.

The Student Parliament meets about every three weeks, where they decide matters such as quality of studies, quality of the students’ working environment and internationalization.

Student representatives on different boards and committees at NTNU are elected by the student body. The Student Parliament also deals with matters that are not directly linked to students at NTNU alone, such as offers about public transport, requirements for entering higher education and systems for financing education.

Representatives to the Student Parliament are elected each autumn, and all students at NTNU can be elected and are permitted to vote. The meetings are open for all students at NTNU.

There are many religious student organizations at the university. Some of them also have their own sports clubs.

Professional degrees, university studies, interdisciplinary study programmes and Masters degrees in English. 7 faculties and 53 departments. 20 000 students, half of these studying technology or the natural sciences. 2250 professional, masters-level or doctoral degrees are awarded each year. A third of these are awarded to female students.
