Course content

The Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences has a close collaboration with St. Olav's University Hospital. Every semester, medical exchange students come to Trondheim to do clinical rotations at St.Olav's.

All clinical rotations are organized through The Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, and students apply to NTNU as regular exchange students.

Clinical rotation at St. Olav's University Hospital for exchange students from partner universities who is not able to attend the full English semester (MD4041). The course will be provided in autumn and spring semester. Students are not allowed to contact St. Olav's University Hospital in Trondheim to organize clinical rotations on their own.

All students must register for one or more courses each semester to be considered an active student at NTNU.

  • Surgery
  • Internal medicine
  • Orthopedics
  • Neurology
  • ENT (ear, nose and throat)

Additional information about clinical rotations

  • Clinical rotations are arranged individually for each student outside the regular medical curriculum. The number of available places depends on the capacity in the departments.
  • Each student is offered clinical rotations in maximum three (3) departments per semester.
  • Clinical rotations must take place within the semester dates. We do not accept any students for clinical rotations during the summer (mid-June to mid-August) or Christmas holidays.
  • All clinical rotations must start on a Monday.
  • It is preferable that students speak a Scandinavian language. However, English is usually accepted for all departments but Paediatrics. No place is guaranteed until the Faculty coordinator has made all the necessary arrangements with the department. There is limited capacity, and it is not always possible to accommodate all applicants. If you are not accepted one semester, NTNU encourages you to apply again for another semester.
