Intensive Norwegian Summer Course
The Norwegian Summer Course is only offered to new exchanges students at NTNU Trondheim campus.
The course is a good way to learn Norwegian while making new friends and learning about Norway and Trondheim. Every summer, we welcome up to 150 students from all over the world.
Course dates:
The planned dates for 2025 is 31 July to 15 August.
The course is co-organized by the Department of Language and Literature and the Unit for International Relations, and is only open for new exchange students at NTNU, campus Trondheim.
The language course
The language course is a combination of intensive lessons with our experienced team of teachers and a more practice-oriented approach coordinated by our language assistants. Because of the intensive nature of the course, it is extremely important that you take part from the very beginning. It is not possible to arrive late, or work part-time during the course.
More information about the course can be found here.
Social programme
The social programme is an integral part of the language course. Teambuilding in the context of your host country is our main goal, and our focus is on outdoor activities. Students who have applied for the summer course will receive information about the planned social programme via email.
We will do our best to accommodate students with special needs/disabilities in the social programme. Please contact us if you need accomodations.

Please note that in most cases exchange students are offered only one Norwegian course per semester, due to a limited number of places. If you are offered a place for the Intensive Norwegian Summer Course, you will most likely not be offered a place in a language course in the autumn semester.
