New Student Information & Orientation
New Student Information & Orientation
We are very much looking forward to welcoming our new students to study start.
Due to the current situation with the pandemic, this year's matriculation ceremony will be organised in a slightly different manner than usual.
Exchange students will be invited to view the matriculation ceremony digitally.
Master's students will be invited by their respective study programmes to a screening of the matriculation ceremony on campus together with their classmates.
More information on this year's Matriculation ceremony.
On August 17, the day after matriculation, a vast number of different student organizations will be present on campus to showcase the variety of activities, causes and organizations you can engage with outside your studies at NTNU.
NTNU is well-known for a vibrant and lively student community with a strong volunteerism spirit - as a result, there are several different associations, clubs, sports teams and organizations you can join in your free time, which is an excellent way to make friends.
Representatives from certain services at NTNU and Sit, such as the Office of International Relations, will also be present.
The mandatory programme for new master students begins on Wedensday, 18 August, and continues through Friday.

About simulation and visualization
What will you learn?
In this master's program, you will learn the technology used to simulate and visualise. Simulation and visualization technology is used in everything from training in emergency situations in an airplane, surgical interventions in humans, to evacuation in the event of a natural disaster. The purpose is to create a simplified digital environment where we can test different scenarios before we start processes or development. Here’s what you’ll learn in the programme.
Apply for admission
The programme is open to both international and Norwegian students. The admission requirement is a Bachelor´s degree in engineering or equivalent. There is also a requirement for a major in mathematics from the Bachelor´s degree, equivalent to 30 ECTS. Applicants with 20 credits in mathematics may also apply.
For the 2019-2020 academic year, the admission capacity for this programme of study was 25 places. The grade threshold for admission to the master’s degree programme is normally a C average. How to apply and details of admission requirements.
Career opportunities
Simulation and visualization are being introduced in more and more areas of society, and the demand for these skills is therefore increasing. Students gain an interdisciplinary education that enables them to work in a wide variety of areas. What can you work with?
Study environment
Our learning spaces are open to all students around the clock, and are used outside scheduled teaching and training sessions as an academic and social meeting place across disciplines and years of study. This has led to an inclusive social network for students and a good study environment. Everyday student life in simulation and visualization.
Structure of the programme
The two-year master’s programme in simulation and visualization gives you skills that you can use in the discipline you studied in your bachelor’s programme.
In the fourth semester, you write a final master’s thesis, often in collaboration with local business and industry. How the programme is structured.
