Admission requirements

Language requirements

We require all international students to have a good command of English at an academic level. Students who are admitted to NTNU through the Erasmus+ programme do not need to document English proficiency. Students coming from outside the EU/EEA need to document English proficiency Students taking courses in English are not required to have any Norwegian language knowledge.

Requirements for Health- and social care applicants

Since NTNU has separate health care departments in Trondheim, Gjøvik and Ålesund, applicants must make sure that their home institution has an exchange agreement with the relevant NTNU department before they apply. Some agreements also provide the opportunity for a combination of practical placement and theoretical studies.

Health- and social care students doing practical or clinical work will have to provide MRSA test results and, in some cases, tuberculosis test results. In addition, you will need to provide police records. 


Insurance

NTNU provides no insurance for any students. All students are therefore advised to have their own individual insurance or to bring a valid European Health Insurance Card (EHIC). However, NTNU will be accountable in the event of accidents involving our students if the fault for the accident lies with the university.


Application procedures

Application procedures

Contact your home university to see if there are any existing internship agreements with NTNU. 
Look for relevant supervisors and projects.

Contact information can be found here.

Important to clarify with your supervisor and your home university: 

  • Is the project/thesis going to be graded at NTNU or at your home university?
  • If relevant, how many credits (ECTS) will the project/thesis culminate in? 

Please send an email to exchange@st.ntnu.no to inquire about further steps. Please include information about your intended period of stay and the NTNU professor who has agreed to supervise you.

Please familiarize yourself with what procedures and rules for immigration to Norway apply to your country. See UDI.no for details on this.

Student housing

 In the autumn semester (August - December) some students will have to arrange for housing on the private market on their own, but in the spring semester (January – June) all international students are normally offered student housing from Sit. 

Unfortunately, we will have limited student housing availability in the autumn semester and we will not be able to guarantee student housing for new students except for non-EU students depending on a housing guarantee for their visa application. This means that students might have to find private housing on their own. More information about this will be given later to accepted students.
