Faculty of Medicine

The Faculty of Medicine is a research and teaching institution in medicine and health.

Studies
The Faculty of Medicine admits 120 new medical students a year, and is the most popular medical school in Norway. In 2007, the Faculty was running several master’s programmes with 271 students and five PhD programmes with 255 students.

The Faculty offers several exiting and challenging programmes of study for international degree students. Some of these are international MSc and PhD programmes taught in English, while others require skills in Norwegian language. In addition to the degree programmes, we also have many interesting courses that are open for exchange students.

Research
Research at the Faculty of Medicine extends from basic research, to research at the boundary between basic and clinical research, to community medicine research. The Faculty has three strategic areas with a special research focus: medical technology, translation research and health surveys/biobanks.

Campus Øya
Our close integration with St. Olav’s University Hospital provides us with a unique, highly integrated research, and teaching environment. Begun in 2002, the new university hospital will continue to take shape until 2013 on “Øya”. NTNU’s Faculty of Medicine is an important element of this project, and it owns around 25% of the total 197,500 m2 built area. NTNU’s area within the new University Hospital will be 48,500 m2.
