The one-year programme in Social Sciences can form part of an NTNU bachelors degree. It must be stressed that «one-year programme» is not an official title for this programme, and this will not feature on any certificate gained as a result of following this course of study.

A one-year programme can take different forms:

• elective courses from across the spectrum of disciplines, based on individual preference
• elective courses within a specific field
• a specified combination of courses that fulfils the requirements of a one-year programme of study within a particular discipline, with the aim of qualifying as a teacher within that specific discipline
