Disclaimer: This is a tool for helping IDI's students, so far focusing on Gløshaugen students, but hopefully also of some use within all IDI. The tool does not have any official status with respect to agreements at NTNU.
Hi, and 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.
All requests regarding pre- or post-approval must be addressed to science-exchange@idi.ntnu.no.
Initially all requests will be process by the administrative advisors for exchange studies. They will handle all issues regarding how to prepare 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.
The administrative advisors are:
- Kristin S. Karlsen and Unni Kringtrø Eide
The 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, IT South
Pre-approval form: The form Søknad om forhåndsgodkjenning is to be found here.
Post-Approval form: The 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, wither 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
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
- You will find lists of courses offered by foreign universities in the meny to the left, under Computer science (Datateknologi, Informatikk). Before sending your form to science-exchange@idi.ntnu.no, please make sure that the courses that you want to get approved are either already approved or you have inserted them as suggestions in the Comments field in the page of the respective university, in the same format as the main table.
- For an overview of which courses should you take if you were at NTNU, see Study plans for Datateknologi or Informatikk:
- Example of fill-in form
Approval after stay abroad
- Once you have received all your transcripts from the foreign educational institution, you must contact IDI again to get an approval with a signature. It is important that you send/bring your pre-approval form at the same time.
- Before the advisor can approve, she/he will check your exchange university on the wiki, handle possible changes you have made from the pre-approval plan, and ensure that you meet the requirements of your exchange year, defined by the Study plans (see under Pre Approval).
- Your courses during exchange should at this point already be in the wiki page for your university, either approved or as comments.
- Example of filled-in form
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 for final check and formal approval. Send to:
- Julie Elisabeth Takacs (julie.e.takacs@ntnu.no) if you are a computer science (datateknologi) student (MIDT/MTDT/..)
- Trude Buøy Solvang (trude.b.solvang@ntnu.no) if you are an informatics (informatikk) student (BIT/MSIT/..)

Third Year:
- Find classes that are matching your obligatory (O) classes.
- Fill up with other (CS) classes to at least 30 ECTS pr. semester.
Fourth Year:
Find two classes that matches your two mandatory (O) profile courses, OR any other comparable master level profile courses at the university you are going to.
EiT and KPro will be approved as long as you have at least 20 ECTS with Group/Project work in all your classes.
K -Emne should be similar to something on the K-Emne list.
"Ingeniøremne annet Studieprogram" can be any engineering course, possibly even a CS course if necessary.
Fill up with other (CS) classes to at least 30 ECTS pr. semester.

Informatics - Master (2-year)
Second semester
- Find two classes that matches your two mandatory/selectable profile courses (O / VA / VB), OR any other comparable master level profile courses at the university.
- Fill up with other CS classes that contain some group work to cover IT3010 and Experts in Team (EiT).
NB: IT3010 is a research method subject meant to teach how to do research in informatics.
As such it cannot automatically be replaced with any subject containing group work.
The subject you plan to replace it with should contain some research related options.
