Degrees and courses taught in English

We require all international students to have a good command of English at an academic level and you may need to provide TOEFL/IELTS test scores.

Please read NTNU's English requirements thoroughly to see if you are eligible to apply.


Degrees and courses taught in Norwegian

If  you wish to enrol in a degree (or take a course) taught in Norwegian, NTNU requires you to be proficient in both English and Norwegian. Taking a course to learn Norwegian (see below) while here is not sufficient to apply for a degree taught in norwegian.


Courses to learn Norwegian

Living in Norway gives you an unparalleled opportunity to learn Norwegian. NTNU offers part-time classes to help you learn Norwegian as a second language.

Documenting English proficiency
