How to apply -- international masters programmes

NTNU has only one preliminary application deadline for all international master's programmes, which is December 1 for admission in the autumn of the following year.

If you have a Norwegian or Nordic undergraduate degree, you must apply by April 15 for admission in the autumn, as described here.

It's not possible for any students to apply for admissions to the spring semester, because of the way the international master's programmes are structured -- all programmes begin in the autumn, and extend over four semesters.

The application procedure is different depending mainly upon your source of funding and whether or not your undergraduate degree is from a Nordic country or from elsewhere.

If you are are self-financed or are applying under the quota scheme, you must fill out the preliminary online application by December 1. The application is generally available online by October 1, and is not available after the December 1 deadline passes.

After your preliminary application has been reviewed and approved, you will be sent a request for additional information, which must be returned by February 1. You can read more about the specific application requirements for self-funded students here, while students who will apply under the quota scheme can read more about the application process here.

Admission for Autumn 2011

International Master’s programmes

The online preliminary application forms open in October. The deadline for submission of the preliminary application is December 1 for applicants with an educational background from outside the Nordic countries.

For applicants with a Norwegian / Nordic degree, the application deadline is April 15.

International Masters Programmes -- Language requirements

All International master's programmes are instructed in English, so there are no Norwegian language requirements. You must be able to demonstrate your English proficiency, however.

NTNU does offer a variety of Norwegian courses if you are interested, all of which are optional for international master's programme students, of course.
