NTNU organises an orientation programme for new international students every August and January.
Orientation Days - New International Students 11th - 15th of August 2025
At NTNU Ålesund campus, we will have a orientation programme on campus for new international students from 11th through 15th of August 2025. The orientation programme will be for new International Master's Students and for new Exchange students. The programme will be set up so that students also can attend the regular introduction week for all students starting 11th of August with Matriculation seremony, campus tours, student organization days, "Fadder" (social activities for new students) etc.
The Orientation Programme will start August 11th at 09.30 am. The complete programme will be available here within May/June.
We will hopefully also be able to host a pre-arrival meeting on Zoom in June. In this session we will hold a short presentation and it will give you the opportunity to ask questions prior to your arrival.
