Students are welcome to choose courses from different faculties, provided they meet the previous knowledge requirements/recommendations for the courses they wish to take.

All students wishing to take master’s level courses should have completed 3 years/an equivalent to a bachelor’s degree at their home university before coming to NTNU. Students who have not completed 3 years before their stay at NTNU may be granted access to these master’s courses after an individual evaluation based on their educational background. This evaluation will be done by the International Office after the students have applied and chosen their courses.
