AbOUT THE STUDy PROGRAMME
Natural gas is being used extensively
for domestic heating, in chemical
industries, and power generation.
Natural gas is an environmental friendly
alternative to coal. The main challenges
with natural gas are generally the large
distances between the production and
consumption, much of the remaining
resources are in sensitive environments,
and carbon dioxide is emitted to the
atmosphere from the combustion of it.
A two-year international full-time degree
MSc programme (120 ECTS credits)
is offered. It is targeted towards both
Norwegian and international students,
with a variety of disciplinary and cultural
backgrounds. All courses are 7.5 ECTS
credits and are lectured in English.
NTNU is the main engineering university
in Norway, and graduates about 1400
MSc candidates annually. The master
'
s
programme is actually a cluster of three
different master's programmes, Petro-
leum Engineering, Chemical Engineering
and Natural Gas Technology. These
programmes aim at covering the whole
value chain for natural gas, including
exploration and production, processing,
liquefaction, transport, conversion
to chemicals, power generation and
heating. Technoeconomic optimization is
included for the whole value chain. Tech-
nologies for carbon dioxide capture and
storage is emphasized in the processing
and conversion steps of the value chain.
Within Natural Gas Technology, you can
choose from a range of specializations:
Process Integration, Multiphase flows,
Gas transport, Cryogenics, Combustion,
Thermal Turbo Machinery, Thermal
power Cycles including CO2 capture,
and Value-chains and life cycle analysis
(LCA).
ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS
BSc/BEng degree or equivalent (normally
3-4 years) in mechanical engineering,
chemical engineering or equivalent (in
order to obtain equivalent competence,
the basic knowledge in mathematics,
physics and chemistry must be at the
level of BSc/BEng).

MASTER OF SCIENCE IN NATURAL GAS TECHNOLOGY
Natural gas is gaining
increasing importance
world-wide as energy carrier
and chemical feedstock. At
NTNU and the collaborating
research institute SINTEF,
about 300 people are working
with natural gas technology.
We would like you to join the
team, and to prepare you for a
future within energy and
process engineering.
