Everyday student life

Courses in the NTNU International Masters in Project Management (ProMan) are typically structured around a fixed weekly timetable of lectures in blocks of 2 or 3 hours during an academic semester. In addition to lectures, there are group work sessions (typically 2 hours weekly) to facilitate and consolidate the learning process. Some courses require mandatory assignments to be submitted on a weekly or bi-weekly basis. Courses are assessed either through a final exam or a semester report. There are often tutorial sessions where senior students of the study programme employed as Learning Assistants provide advice and guidance. 
 
When there are no scheduled lectures, it's a good idea to spend time in the reading rooms  to study the curriculum, review lecture notes, and go through the reading list and other material posted in the Learning Management System. Preparing for lectures in advance will not only help your learning process, but sometimes it will be necessary to follow and participate in classes! In addition to reading rooms, there are group rooms  that can be booked for working on semester projects and other group work. There are also dedicated computer labs for Project Management students, equipped with desktop computers and printers. Moreover, wireless internet (eduroam) is available within the range of the NTNU university campus. 
 
Given the relatively small number of students in the programme (around 25 per class), it encourages a sense of community both within the ProMan class and across other class years (at any point in time, there is a Y1 and Y2 class). In addition, as several of the mandatory and elective courses are shared with other study programmes, this offers opportunities to meet and interact with NTNU students from other study programmes.  

In cooperation with the ProMan Student Association and other NTNU networks active in the field of project management, the study programme offers a range of additional ad-hoc extracurricular activities, such as excursions, company visits and guest lectures. 
 
When days get long with many lectures and tutorial sessions, taking breaks at one of the cafeterias or cafés on the Gløshaugen campus can be a good idea. The selection is good, and the prices are reasonable. Moreover, the Sit Gløshaugen Sports Center is located nearby. It offers a variety of options, from strength training to aerobics. The gym is open from early morning until late in the evening. 
 
Social activities

Trondheim has, on several occasions, been named Norway's best student city. This is to a large degree thanks to a thriving ecosystem of student organisations and study programme associations, which greatly enrich the study experience and are an important part of studying at NTNU. 

In addition to its academic content, the NTNU International Masters in Project Management offers a very active social environment. The ProMan Student Association  put a lot of time and effort into organising activities outside of lectures. These activities usually involve different year groups, making it easy to make friends and establish connections from across the study programme community.
 
Amongst other things, the ProMan Student Association organises a number of social activities such as parties, quizzes, trips, and various other gatherings. ProMan Student Association is a hub for bringing together Project Management students across the NTNU, helping to achieve a vibrant student experience. In fact, one of the first things you will encounter as an incoming ProMan student is our extensive buddy program. During the first two weeks, you will spend a lot of time with your buddy group, and the buddies are responsible for helping you get to know your classmates, the campus (Gløshaugen), and the city of Trondheim.
