3.
Excellent laboratories and research opportunities
Close cooperation with and proximity to one of Europe’s largest research foundations, SINTEF,
gives students easy access to laboratories equipped with the latest equipment and ensures that NTNU
continues to be a dynamic educational and research community.
A pulsating student environment
- A vibrant Student Union offering concerts, dances, theatre, debates and more
- The biennial International Student Festival (ISFIT)
- The three-week long biennial Student Festival (UKA)
- NTNUI, Norway’s largest sports club
- The Student Lodge and over 20 cabins located all over central Norway, from the coast to high up in the mountains
- Student clubs and societies spanning the entire range of academic disciplines and leisure activities
4. Excellent, reasonably priced student housing
NTNU received the highest score in a Dutch International Students Housing survey
5. Spectacular scenery
The natural beauty of Norway’s fjords, mountains and coastline afford limitless opportunities for year
round enjoyment.
6. Cultural and historical cities as well as centers of innovation
Trondheim (pop. ~178,000), founded in 997, was Norway’s first capital and holds a special place in its’
history and culture. Ålesund (pop. ~44,000) with its’ unique concentration of Art Nouveau architecture in
a coastal location in proximity to breath taking mountains will leave you in awe. Gjøvik (pop. ~20,000)
located next to Mjøsa, Norway’s largest lake with a depth of 453 m, offers more than 1,500 km of
prepared ski trails, a 100 km network of floodlit trails and the Gjøvik Ølympic Hall.
All cities are high-tech centers in their own right as well as cultural and innovative centers.
7. The Norwegian experience
The deeply rooted cultural traditions, such as the Norwegian bunad, the Hardanger fiddle and
internationally celebrated works of Henrik Ibsen, Edvard Grieg, and Edvard Munch, exemplify Norway’s
ability to maintain its unique character.
8. Moderate climate
Norway’s climate, moderated by the warming effect of the Gulf Stream, allows residents to enjoy four
distinct seasons and the full spectrum of outdoor activities.
9. One-stop shopping for international students
NTNU prides itself on being able to offer exchange students “one-stop shopping” for their transition into
student life at NTNU, be it in Trondheim, Gjøvik or Ålesund.
10. Proximity to Europe
With the discounts available to all students in Norway, there are excellent opportunities to explore the rest
of Scandinavia and Europe.
