The Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) is a public research university in Norway and the largest in terms of enrollment.[1] The university's headquarters is located in Trondheim[2]
Overview
NTNU was inaugurated in 1996 as a result of the merger of the former University of Trondheim and other university-level institutions. At a later stage, some former university colleges were also incorporated. NTNU has the main national responsibility for education and research in engineering and technology. This is likely attributable to the fact that it is the successor of Norway's preeminent engineering university, the Norwegian Institute of Technology (NTH) which was established by Parliament in 1910 as Norway's national engineering university. In addition to engineering and natural sciences, the university offers higher education in other academic disciplines ranging from medicine, psychology, social sciences, the arts, teacher education, architecture and fine art.
The university's academics include three Nobel laureates in physiology or medicine: Edvard Moser, May-Britt Moser and John O'Keefe.[3]
