Study start at the Faculty of Science and Technology (REALTEK)

Welcome as a new student at the Faculty of Science and Technology (REALTEK) at NMBU!
We look forward to getting to know you!

During the study start in August you will get to know REALTEK as a faculty and familiarise yourself with the Study programme that you are starting.

NB! Mandatory attendance from the first day starting Monday 14. august. If you are hindered from attending the first day, please notify the Study advisers as soon as possible. If you do not attend the first day with no reported reason for absence, it will be counted as you are letting up your spot on the programme.
