If you want to study at NTNU as a regular student at undergraduate level, you have to learn Norwegian first, as knowledge of Norwegian is an admission requirement. We offer a one-year full-time course in Norwegian for students who would like to study at NTNU but lack knowledge of Norwegian. The course starts in August every year, and the application deadline is 1 December the year before you intend to start your studies. After you have passed the Norwegian course, you may continue to study at NTNU within your chosen field. You will find more information about this course on our website at http://www.ntnu.no/international/gry/norskkurs/html/ifus_1-year_full_time_program.html If you can document knowledge of Norwegian, you should apply through the Universities and Colleges Admission Service (UCAS) in Norway. You will find more information on their website at http://www.samordnaopptak.no/english, and the application deadline for applicants with a foreign education background is 1 March the same year you intend to start your studies.

Yes, we do. There are basically two different Norwegian courses offered at NTNU, an intensive summer course that lasts for 3-4 weeks, and a course that runs for the whole semester with an exam at the end of the course. The intensive summer course is mainly intended for exchange students who are coming to NTNU in the Autumn semester and need to obtain some knowledge of Norwegian first, whereas the semester course is intended for students/ employees at NTNU who are staying in Norway for some time. Everyone with a residence permit in Norway may apply for this course, however, and some places are reserved for applicants that are not connected to NTNU.
When your application is accepted by the relevant academic group at NTNU, we will send you an accommodation reservation form. Once we have received your accommodation reservation form, a room will be booked for you at one of the student villages (Moholt or Steinan). This reservation is a binding agreement for you, which makes you responsible for paying the rent from a fixed date. No further confirmation will be sent out from the Office of International Relations once we have received your accommodation reservation form. You are guaranteed a room at the student village, provided that you have returned the reservation form to the Office of International Relations at least 2 months before your arrival. In case of any problems we will contact you.
