- Norway: Population 4,7 million Trondheim: 160 000 inhabitants, at 63º N 7º E The Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU): The second largest university in Norway, with 20 000 students and a staff providing 4300 man-years Norway is part of the Scandinavian peninsula on the northern outskirts of Europe. About two-thirds of Norway is mountainous, and its indented coastline of some 20 000 miles is dotted with at least 50 000 islands. Modern transport makes far away close at hand The airport has dozens of flights to/from Oslo every day, as well as direct connections with all Norwegian cities. International direct connections to Copenhagen, Amsterdam and London (Stanstead) on scheduled flights. There are frequent train connections with Oslo and the north. The coastal express liner service has daily departures for Bergen to the south and North Cape in the far north. Gulf Stream climate Trondheim has a milder climate in winter than could be expected because of its latitude as it is at the receiving end of the Gulf Stream. Visitors can expect two to three months of snow in winter, but few really cold spells. In the summer, expect temperate changeable conditions and a few periods of warm weather.

- The number of applicants is taken from NTNU Table 1 in the annual report (2008-2009) to the Ministry of Education and Research. (See also the table “Studentrapporter/Søknadstall” for NTNU at Database for Higher Education (DBH), dbh.nsd.uib.no). Note that the number of applications is much higher than the number of applicants, because a single applicant may apply to several study programmes at the same time. (See also Database for Higher Education (DBH), at www.nsd.uib.no) The total number of applications is the sum of the applications filed with the Universities and Colleges Admission Service (UCAS), which number approximately 40,000, and the applications that for various reasons (see below) come directly to NTNU. The number of primary applicants (applicants that have NTNU listed as their first choice) is taken from NUCAS (www.samordnaopptak.no), and from the NTNU annual press release in April/May. The term “primary applicants” only applies to those applicants coordinated through UCAS. The number does not include those applying directly to NTNU for a higher degree, for the cand.psychol. degree in psychology, applicants for the spring semester and applicants to The Trondheim Academy of Fine Art and performance studies in music (as a result of required entrance exams for admission). Approximately 6,900 were accepted (see above mentioned Table 1). The difference of approximately 3,000 between those accepted and the number of graduates is explained thusly: Those who graduate have completed a course of study here, for example in technology (MSc). Among those accepted, many will not complete a course of study for a lower/higher degree at NTNU. Some do not show up despite accepting a place at the university, some leave after a few weeks/months, some are accepted into studies of a shorter duration on the basis of main studies at another university, and some only follow individual courses as part of their continuing education. The admissions process may be divided into five stages: 1) Submitted applications; 2) Qualified applicants; 3) Study offers; 4) Acceptance of the study offer; 5) Arriving at the university and paying the semester fee. (Numbers for categories 1) and 5) are found in DBH.) The number of registered students is taken from Table 1 in in the annual report (2008-2009) to the Ministry of Education and Research. The number of degrees awarded is taken from said Table 1 in the annual report (2008-2009) to the Ministry of Education and Research, and the number of PhDs awarded from NTNU Table 5 in the same document. The number of employees is taken from dbh.nsd.uib.no for 2007 (Institusjon-stillingsgruppe-stillingskategori-stillingskode = Undervisnings-, forsknings- og formidlingsstilling) . The number of professors , adjunct professors (“prof. II”) not included, is from the same table, code 1013. The budget number is taken from The first table in the appendix to the annual report (2008-2009) to the Ministry of Education and Research. (Here 1 Euro is set at 8 NOK, a rate that may vary) The space estimate is taken from the category “Areal” in dbh.nsd.uib.no.
- Numbers are generated from Note 1 to the NTNU accounts, an appendix in the university’s annual report (2008-2009) to the Ministry of Education and Research: (Blue column) Ministry of Education & Research and other ministries. (Red column) The Research Council of Norway. (Yellow column) Business. (Green column) State/municipal: Sum of “State institutions” + “Counties/Municipalities”. (Light blue column) European Union (EU). (Grey column) Other: “Organizations” + “Foundations” + “Other + “Sale of real estate, equipment, etc.” + “Sum other income”. Here, the totals for NTNU are in mill. euro (calculated as 1 Euro = 8 NOK, a rate that may vary): 358 (2002), 383 (2003), 432 (2004), 444 (2005), 469 ( 2006), 525 (2007), 550 (2008).

- The Norwegian University of Science and Technology was established on 1 January 1996, as a result of the reorganization of the University of Trondheim. The university has its foundation in three institutions: the Norwegian Institute of Technology (NTH), the College of Arts and Science (AVH, 1922), and the Museum of Natural History and Archaeology (1760). The Faculty of Medicine, the Music Conservatory in Trondheim, and the Trondheim Academy of Fine Art were also included as a part of NTNU in the 1996 reorganization.

- Energy and the environment – because energy technology must reflect the limitations of the environment. Research is being intensified in smart and energy-efficient buildings and environmentally friendly uses of natural gas. Medical technology – because health is one of our greatest challenges. The main focus is on image-based diagnostics and ultrasound intervention, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and medical biotechnology. Materials technology – because materials are the basis for all new technology. Focus areas are light metal alloys and functional materials. Marine and maritime technology – because the ocean holds vast amounts of underused resources. Intense focus on marine technology and marine biology resources. Information and Communications Technology – because humans need to communicate. Research is carried out on four levels: Discipline-specific. Interdisciplinary research in fields such as speech technology, with research teams from telecommunications, computer science and linguistics. Integrated areas with a broad academic base, such as human-machine communication. Integrated projects that draw on resources from a large part of the ICT community. Globalization – because the forces of globalization permeate our society and are significant for all areas of society; no area remains unaffected. It touches everyday life on all levels, from the individual to the state, up to and including the multinational. Globalization means that cultural and social boundaries at all levels become less significant in governing human interactions. As a result, globalization research is highly relevant and significant for both the public and private sectors. Globalization affects most scientific disciplines in fundamental ways. The area includes three overarching interdisciplinary themes; Historical Processes, Ethical Dilemmas, and Economic Conditions.

- From http://www.nokut.no/sw473.asp Universities and specialized institutions at university level: Norwegian University of Life Sciences Norwegian School of Economics and Business Administration Norwegian University of Sport and Physical Education NTNU - Norwegian University of Science and Technology Oslo School of Architecture The Norwegian Academy of Music The Norwegian School of Veterinary Science The University Centre on Svalbard University of Bergen University of Oslo University of Stavanger University of Tromsø UniK - University Graduate Center The Norwegian Lutheran School of Theology (from 1 Jan 2005) University of Agder (from Sept 1 2007) (see also http://www.uib.no/siu/ur/bros-eng.htm)
- The number of applicants is taken from NTNU Table 1 in the annual report (2008-2009) to the Ministry of Education and Research. (See also the table “Studentrapporter/Søknadstall” for NTNU at Database for Higher Education (DBH), dbh.nsd.uib.no). Note that the number of applications is much higher than the number of applicants, because a single applicant may apply to several study programmes at the same time. (See also Database for Higher Education (DBH), at www.nsd.uib.no) The total number of applications is the sum of the applications filed with the Universities and Colleges Admission Service (UCAS), which number approximately 40,000, and the applications that for various reasons (see below) come directly to NTNU. The number of primary applicants (applicants that have NTNU listed as their first choice) is taken from NUCAS (www.samordnaopptak.no), and from the NTNU annual press release in April/May. The term “primary applicants” only applies to those applicants coordinated through UCAS. The number does not include those applying directly to NTNU for a higher degree, for the cand.psychol. degree in psychology, applicants for the spring semester and applicants to The Trondheim Academy of Fine Art and performance studies in music (as a result of required entrance exams for admission). Approximately 6,900 were accepted (see above mentioned Table 1). The difference of approximately 3,000 between those accepted and the number of graduates is explained thusly: Those who graduate have completed a course of study here, for example in technology (MSc). Among those accepted, many will not complete a course of study for a lower/higher degree at NTNU. Some do not show up despite accepting a place at the university, some leave after a few weeks/months, some are accepted into studies of a shorter duration on the basis of main studies at another university, and some only follow individual courses as part of their continuing education. The admissions process may be divided into five stages: 1) Submitted applications; 2) Qualified applicants; 3) Study offers; 4) Acceptance of the study offer; 5) Arriving at the university and paying the semester fee. (Numbers for categories 1) and 5) are found in DBH.) The number of registered students is taken from Table 1 in in the annual report (2008-2009) to the Ministry of Education and Research. The number of degrees awarded is taken from said Table 1 in the annual report (2008-2009) to the Ministry of Education and Research, and the number of PhDs awarded from NTNU Table 5 in the same document. The number of programmes of study is taken from http://www.ntnu.no/studier . The list of international Master’s programmes from http://www.ntnu.no/studier/internasjonalemasterprogram The number of courses is calculated from the list in http://www.ntnu.no/studier/emner Photo: Cathrine Dillner Hagen/NTNU Info .
- NTNU has ten areas of study . All areas are approved by the Ministry of Education and Research: Mathematics and scientific studies (science), arts (humanities), social sciences, technology, medicine, architecture, psychology, performing music, fine art, and practical-pedagogical studies. (The Examen philosophicum is in addition to this.) The hierarchical terminology is 1) Area of study, 2) Programme of study (both for lower and higher degrees, and for doctoral studies), and 3) Course (which is the basic unit that awards credits). Photo: Cathrine Dillner Hagen/NTNU Info. For more on terminology, see http://www.uhr.no/utdanning/terminologi (“termbase”) See also www.ntnu.no/intersek/english_matters/ (”UHR´s Termbase - translations of educational terms”)
- In NTNU’s degree structure, students can choose between two pathways: 3+2: Students taking the arts, social sciences and natural sciences can chose different programmes of study that can be combined in a bachelor’s degree (BA, BSc) – 3 years. This can be combined with a subsequent 2-year master’s degree (MA, MSc., MPhil.) Integrated degree: The other path is an integrated degree such as a Master of Science (Norwegian: Mastergrad i teknologi (previously sivilingeniør and/or sivilarkitekt)). This takes 5 years to complete. Or a professional degree in medicine or psychology (these degrees are both 6 year programmes). A doctoral degree (at NTNU, usually a PhD) builds on a master’s degree, and normally takes 3 years. The doctoral programmes are structured like the master’s programmes. It is also possible to choose a two-year master’s degree building on three years of technological or architectural studies. There is a separate medical research programme. This education is centred around medical studies. One can also choose the practical-pedagogical teacher education as a one-year addition to: - A five-year master’s degree - A three-year bachelor’s degree - 180 credits Teacher education may also be taken as a two-year addition to general education and vocational training (part-time). NTNU is the second largest institution in Norway for teacher education. (Graphics from http://www.studier.ntnu.no/?id=2 .)

- The number of students at NTNU, Sør-Trøndelag University College and other local institutions of higher learning totals about 30,000 (according to the Annual Report 2004 for the Student Welfare Organization of Trondheim) Trondheim’s population was 169,257 January 1, 2009, with the number of households at approximately 70,000. In addition to residents, about 23,000 students live in the city, but formally reside in their respective home counties. To estimate the actual population for Trondheim, we must also subtract about 2,000 students whose registered address is Trondheim, but who live and study elsewhere. The actual resident population can thus be estimated at approximately 180,000. There are no exact numbers for the residences of the student population, so the estimates are approximate.
