Mission & Goals
NTNU, the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, has as its mission “Knowledge for a better world” and creates solutions that can change our daily lives. In 2016, NTNU merged with the University Colleges in Gjøvik, Sør-Trøndelag and Ålesund to form a single university. The merger gives the university more comprehensive course offerings and larger research groups. NTNU is now Norway’s largest, most exciting and innovative university. NTNU’s interdisciplinary research results in innovations that have great economic and social significance. NTNU also has the broadest study offerings of any Norwegian university in the different technological and artistic and aesthetic disciplines.
