Admission planning

A little clarity.
A better next step.

Admission planning

Academic eligibility

  • A business-administration bachelor's or equivalent containing at least 120 ECTS in business and economics.
  • For non-Norwegian degrees, the subject mix includes at least four business-economics courses, two economics, two methods, four administration and one ethics/CSR/sustainability course.
  • The general academic threshold is C or better on the ECTS scale; overseas grades are converted and qualified applicants ranked.

Admission planning

Language requirements

  • The currently linked international-degree policy requires IELTS Academic 6.5 in every component, or an approved alternative.
  • IELTS/TOEFL/PTE evidence normally must be no more than two years old at the deadline.
  • The language page retains an older cycle heading despite newer test details, so reconfirm the policy for the intended round rather than assume a general 6.5 overall is sufficient.

Admission planning

Study intakes

  • Autumn entry to the two-year Ålesund programme.
  • Semester exchange and the programme's second year do not establish a separate spring first-year intake.

Admission planning

Application deadlines

  • The recurring non-EU/non-EEA application and document deadline is 1 December, normally with applications opening on 1 November.
  • EU/EEA/Swiss and Nordic applicant categories have different dates.
  • The general schedule is not an individually confirmed future offer; select the category matching both citizenship and prior education.

Admission planning

International tuition

  • NTNU's central 2026/27 table names this programme at NOK 61,705 per 60-ECTS academic year, not the general business-category price.
  • The programme page differs slightly at NOK 61,701; obtain the exact payable amount in the admission invoice.
  • Future rates are adjusted annually, and living costs and semester charges are additional.

Admission planning

Scholarships & funding

  • NTNU states that it does not offer scholarships, discounts or instalment plans for tuition.
  • Approved fee exemptions are separate from scholarships.
  • Do not assume that Erasmus Mundus or joint-Nordic funding for another degree covers this ordinary full-degree route.
