Before you move: fees, residence and travel
Tuition and living costs
British degree students may need to pay tuition fees. NTNU lists exemptions, including partner-university exchange students and certain British residents with rights established before the end of 2020. Check your own eligibility, documentation and programme fee directly with NTNU.
Budget separately for housing, food, transport, insurance and other study costs.
Residence and documents
Use UDI’s study guidance with your nationality and circumstances selected. Confirm the residence route, required documents and any work conditions before moving. Existing residence rights or another citizenship may affect which rules apply.
Our travel page brings together official information for journeys between Norway and the UK.
Housing and student life
Find a place to live
Follow NTNU’s Ålesund housing guidance and contact Sit about student accommodation. Check availability and application arrangements early; an offer of admission is not a housing booking.
Meet your student community
NTNU organises orientation for new international students. Use its local student-life pages to explore activities and practical information, and Sit for student welfare services.
Get settled in Ålesund
NTNU’s local practical guide is a useful starting point for everyday questions. Our living and visiting pages gather local services, transport and ideas for getting to know the region.
Campus and the maritime network
NTNU sits within a wider community of maritime companies, research and innovation. NMK brings organisations together, while ÅKP and Blue Maritime Cluster connect businesses with education and research.
Explore thesis topics, events and career interests through your academic department. Opportunities depend on the programme, project and employer.
