General
Welcome to our wiki for IDI students who are planning to study abroad.
This wiki contains information and links for setting up a plan for your exchange study. You should also look at the general NTNU information page: https://innsida.ntnu.no/utenlandsstudier.
Please read and make yourself familiar with the information on this page before addressing the IDI student exchange advisors!
All requests about student exchange must be addressed to science-exchange@idi.ntnu.no. This is an IDI-internal list shared by both administrative and scientific advisors at IDI.
Initially all requests will be process by the administrative advisors for exchange studies. They will handle all practical issues regarding how to prepare and register for an application.
The administrative advisors will contact or point you to one of the scientific advisors for questions related to the mapping of NTNU courses to courses in universities abroad.
NB: For all new requests, you need to tell us which study program you follow (datateknologi or informatikk) and which specialisation.
IDI's administrative advisors are:
- Kristin S. Karlsen and Unni Kringtrø Eide, Student administration office
IDI's scientific advisors for specialisations linked to the three IDI Gløshaugen groups are:
- Compute: Anne C. Elster, room 410 IT Building Vest
- Data and Artificial Intelligence: Agnar Aamodt, room 322 IT Vest
- Information Systems and Software Engineering: Sobah Abbas Petersen, room 106 IT Vest
For some issues you may be asked to contact an advisor at the IE faculty, which you should do by sending av email to postmottak@ie.ntnu.no.
Filling in the pre- and post-approval forms.
The pre-approval form Søknad om forhåndsgodkjenning is to be found here.
The Post-Approval form: Søknad om endelig godkjenning is to be found here.
Please note that the standard NTNU forms do not ask for all the information we need at IDI for a smooth application process, so please make sure to:
1) Add your specialisation (studieretning/hovedprofil) after specifying your Studieprogram, either on the
same line or after your email address.
2) Make an explicit mapping between your expected NTNU courses and the courses you plan to take abroad.
One NTNU course may map to (parts of) several courses at your exchange university, but we need to see
how your set of courses abroad map to the courses you would have taken at NTNU:
- In the pre-approval form, add the corresponding NTNU course after the exchange course (section 3) - see example below.
- In the post-approval form, use the Comments field (Ev. kommentarer) for the corresponding NTNU course - see example below
See the GNAG DB for a list of universities with their number course credits corresponding to NTNU (ECTS) credits. Please not that this database may not always be 100% updated.
For all follow-up requests when abroad, for example changes to your signed pre-approval form
- always tell which IDI study program and specialisation you follow
- always send a copy to science-exchange@idi.ntnu.no, even of you are in a dialog with a particular scientific advisor
Pre-approval before going
Post-approval after returning
For both pre and after approvals, when you have got a signature from IDI you will need to send your form to the IE faculty administration, together with all transcripts and documents you have received from you foreign university, for final check and formal approval. Send to:
postmottak@ie.ntnu.no, indicating "Søknad om godkjenning av emner" (Application for course approval) in the title field.The email will then be routed to one of the faculty advisors for student exchange, who currently are
Julie Elisabeth Takacs for computer science (datateknologi) (MIDT/MTDT/..)
Trude Buøy Solvang for informatics (informatikk) student (BIT/MSIT/..)
