Learn more about NTNU's partners in the Erasmus programme

The Erasmus programme is the EU's cooperation and exchange programme for institutions of higher education throughout Europe. As an NTNU student, you are eligible to apply for an Erasmus programme that would offer you access to an educational exchange with universities in a number of EU countries.

Find NTNU agreements with other universities under the Erasmus programme (page in Norwegian).

Your exchange can last for as little as three months or as many as twelve months, and your coursework is automatically approved as a part of your Norwegian education. The Erasmus programme is well known throughout Europe, and many special arrangements have been established for participating students.

Advantages for Erasmus students

The combination of a Norwegian and a non-Norwegian education can make you more attractive in today's international workplace.

You avoid the regular university application procedure altogether, which saves you time and money.

You are offered a language course and a welcome programme from the host university.
You get help finding a place to live.

Support for internships abroad

In addition to support to study abroad, the Erasmus programme offers stipends for placements and practical training programmes for you abroad. You are eligible for support if you:

Are writing your master's thesis for a business or research institution.
Have an internship at a business or organization that is not directly associated with a university.

You apply using a form for preapproval of your discipline. You should send an email to your case officer once you have sent in the form. You will be then sent a contract that must be filled out by NTNU, the host organization and you.

The following NTNU student organizations help arrange internships that can be combined with an Erasmus stipend:

aisec.no/tro
