The Norwegian University of Science and Technology in Trondheim represents academic eminence, innovation and creativity. NTNU is responsible for technological education nationwide and also offers a wide selection of academic disciplines ranging from the social sciences, the arts, medicine, architecture to fine arts.
NTNU, the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, with some 20 000 students and an academic and administrative staff of nearly 4700, is now the second-largest university in Norway.
NTNU continues to evolve as is evidenced by new buildings, expanding cooperation with universities abroad, and
active participation in the European Commission’s student exchange programmes, exchanges with developing
countries, Central- and Eastern Europe/Central Asia, and joint R&D ventures with industry.
All of this means that NTNU is a dynamic educational and research community. With its broad academic spectra, the university is able to adopt a comprehensive approach to the challenges we face in the new millennium while continuing to build on Norway’s reputation as a technological and cultural nation.
We place great importance on developing strong links with universities and research institutions abroad. At any given time there are approximately 1000 international students at NTNU. Most of these take full degrees or are exchange
students.
NTNU cooperates closely with SINTEF (The Foundation for Scientific and Industrial Research at the Norwegian
Institute of Technology) and NTNU Social Research Ltd. As a result of sharing staff, laboratories and equipment with these organizations, our students reap the benefits of this cooperation.
This means that students at NTNU have access to a research and teaching environment that is unrivalled in Norway and has become a Scandinavian model of educational excellence.
NTNU offers a broad spectrum of twenty-three International Master`s Programmes, taught in English, ranging from subjects in the humanities, the social sciences, the natural sciences, engineering and arts, medicine and Erasmus Mundus.
