Students are encouraged to attend the "Get started day" on Gløshaugen or Dragvoll after the welcome meeting.

"Get-started" day
On August 17, the day after matriculation, a vast number of different student organizations will be present on campus at Gløshaugen and Dragvoll, to showcase the variety of activities, causes and organizations you can engage with outside your studies at NTNU.
NTNU, and Trondheim in particular, is well-known for a vibrant and lively student community with a strong volunteerism spirit - as a result, there are literally hundreds of different associations, clubs, sports teams and organizations you can join in your free time, which is an excellent way to make friends.
Most of these will be present on campus on August 17, and will have stands outdoors where you can wander about and talk to representatives from any organization that catches your fancy. Representatives from certain services at NTNU and Sit (The Student Welfare Organization), such as the Office of International Relations, will also be present.
The Office of International Relations will give a presentation (on campus) in English on the various student associations and organizations available.

About the programme
Urban Ecological Planning (UEP) is a practice based program that enables students to develop skills and knowledge to address complex urban issues in rapidly changing social, cultural, political and environmental contexts. The program stresses on an integrated approach to strategic spatial change, with a specific focus on participatory, inclusive and developmental planning practice.
The programme provides a strong link to practice and seeks to challenge urban practitioners from all backgrounds, with an underpinning ethos that the best approaches begin with people themselves.
Admission
Admission is open to both Norwegian and International students.
Job prospects
Past students are currently successfully placed in various profiles across the globe. Many go on to become development professionals both in NGOs and government service, while others pursue careers in academia and the private sector.
Programme components
The programme runs for two years. It consists of four semesters and two fieldworks during the studies.
