Marine Technology (MTMART)

Norway is a superpower when it comes to marine activities.

• Offshore oil activities
• Shipping
• Fisheries and aquaculture

These industries constitute the backbone in the Norwegian economy and exciting and challenging tasks are out there waiting for you.

What do we expect from you?

The formal entrance requirements are Higher Education Entrance Qualifications with emphasis on mathematics and physics. Students with pre-courses in scientific subjects from public colleges may apply.

An interest in mathematics, physics and computing is an advantage, but enthusiasm and curiosity are equally important. The marine industry is international, so we welcome adventurous spirits and offer opportunities for working abroad.

The first two years of this degree programme emphasize basic technological subjects such as mathematics, physics, chemistry, etc as well as basic marine technology. These basic subjects are the tool box you need to plunge into marine technological challenges.

Renowned research environment

The marine technical programme is located in a renowned research environment with long traditions. The large laboratories at the Marine Technology Centre provide unique opportunities for research, and no other university can offer their students anything like this.

The Marine Technology Centre holds one of NTNU’s three Centres of Excellence (Senter of Ship and Ocean Structures). Maritime and marine research are one of NTNU’s six priority areas.

Admission for engineers

Engineers who would like to supplement their education with a Master’s degree in Technology on top of a three year engineering degree, may do so at NTNU.

Engineers with a marine technology background may apply directly for the fourth year provided they have taken sufficient courses in mathematics and statistics. Engineers without relevant marine technology background may apply for admission for the third year and complete their studies within three years. Please contact the student advisor for further information.

Studies abroad?

Parts of your study may be taken abroad at one of our cooperative institutions. More than 20% of our students choose to take their fourth or fifth year abroad. We cooperate with some of the most reputable universities in the USA and Europe.
