Admission requirements

If you want to come to NTNU for a period of between 3 and 12 months as an exchange student, NTNU considers you to be enrolled at your home university.

This means that one of NTNU's primary admission requirements -- that you be proficient in Norwegian -- does not apply. Instead, you can simply apply to attend NTNU as an exchange student.

The normal language of instruction at NTNU for undergraduate and many master's degree programmes is Norwegian, although a number of courses are taught in English. Exams can always be arranged in English and in the majority of cases, textbooks are in English or alternative titles in English will be recommended. Project work can always be supervised in English.

If you're interested in learning Norwegian, NTNU offers an intensive summer course as well as Norwegian classes offered throughout the semester.
