Faculty of Engineering Science & Technology

THE LARGEST AT NTNU, the Faculty of Engineering Science and Technology (commonly abbreviated IVT), offers students a choice of more than 30 engineering specializations through 10 departments (left). The degree programmes offered by IVT are primarily at the Master of Science level, and include both five and two year programmes. In addition the faculty admits a select group of doctoral candidates each year through dedicated fellowship positions tied to research at each of our departments.

The faculty cooperates closely with industry to ensure that both our research and degree programmes contribute to a sustainable and viable social development.

NTNU awards approximately 80% of all advanced engineering degrees in Norway. Six of the fifteen Master's of Engineering programmes are hosted by this faculty, while we offer an additional seven "International" Master of Science (MSc) study options, in English.

Centres and Research Focus

THIS FACULTY IS HOST to: the Centre for Ships and Ocean Structures (CeSOS), and actively participates in the International Centre for Geohazards . Both of these centres have status as a research Centre of Excellence (CoE), and are devoted to long-term, basic research.

Two of NTNU's Centres for Research-based Innovation can be found under the faculty's umbrella. These are the:

In addition, the faculty has a substantial number of ongoing research projects in a variety of disciplines.

Martin Landrø awarded prestigious prize for seismic research

Statoil Prize for 2007 was awarded to Professor Martin Landrø, an applied geophysicist with the Department of Petroleum Engineering and Applied Geophysics at NTNU. The prize recognizes his work in in four-dimensional seismology, also known as 4-D seismic.

"Professor Landrø is one of the pioneers in the development and use of 4-D seismic for monitoring oil and gas production from our reservoirs," says Lasse Amundsen, chief researcher in geophysics at StatoilHydro. "For the past 10 years he has provided important theoretical and practical contributions towards enhancing this technology." [ More about the award ]
