* NTNU's admission requirements: NTNU will have specific entry requirements for bachelor's degrees. They will likely assess your UK college transcripts to determine if your coursework is equivalent to their first two years of study. Direct entry into the *third* year of a Norwegian bachelor's program is *unlikely* without prior significant credit transfer. Most programs require you to start from year one or, at best, year two, depending on the equivalence of your studies.
* Credit transfer: The key is to have your UK college transcripts evaluated by NTNU to see how many credits will transfer. If a significant portion of your first two years of study aligns with NTNU's curriculum, you *might* be able to enter at the second year. However, a direct entry into the third year is highly improbable.
* Program specifics: The specific bachelor's program at NTNU you're interested in will heavily influence the possibility. Some programs may be more flexible with credit transfers than others.
What you should do:
1. Contact NTNU's admissions office: This is the most crucial step. Explain your situation, provide details of your UK college program, and ask directly about the possibility of credit transfer and potential entry points. They're the only ones who can definitively tell you if your studies will be accepted and at what level.
2. Check the program-specific admissions requirements: Go to NTNU's website and look at the detailed admission requirements for the specific bachelor's program you're interested in. This will give you some initial information on required qualifications and possible credit transfer processes.
3. Prepare your transcripts: Have official transcripts from your UK college ready to submit as part of the application process.
In short, while transferring some credits is possible, entering directly into the third year of a bachelor's program at NTNU after completing your second year at a UK college is very unlikely. Prepare for the possibility of starting from year one or, at most, year two.
