THE LARGEST AT NTNU, the Faculty of Engineering Science and Technology (commonly abbreviated IVT), offers students a choice of more than 30 engineering specializations and 10 departments (left). The degree programmes offered by IVT are primarily Master's programmes (Siv.ing and MSc), while we do offer a number of PhD programmes.

IVT 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 Master of Science/advanced engineering degrees in Norway. Six of the 15 Master's of Engineering degree programmes (Siv.ing.) belong to this faculty, while we offer an additional 7 international Master of Science (MSc) study options in English.
