What are NITO Students?
This is the student organization for master's and bachelor's students in engineering and technology. NITO has 15,000 student members and is represented at 24 campuses across the country.
NITO Students work for the interests of technology and engineering students. We are a nationwide and democratic organization, with local branches on campuses with engineering and technology education.
Did you know that NITO's initiative to organize "technical students" in 1950 is a forerunner of the Norwegian Student Organization?
The current organization of students in NITO was founded in 2002, and NITO is today Norway's strongest educational policy voice for engineering and technology students.
You can be a part of this. As a student representative in NITO, you decide which events will be held at your place of study, you contribute to developing NITO's opinions on education policy, and ensure you and your fellow students an easier transition to working life.
NITO Students is part of NITO – Norway's largest organization for engineers and technologists.
Involvement during your studies is a good career choice
Getting involved alongside your studies makes you more attractive to future employers, gives you the opportunity for personal development and access to a large network.
NITO Students influence your everyday studies. Among other things, we have received money in the national budget for equipment in technological education, we have put the problem of dropout on the agenda, and not least given thousands of students subject-relevant and career-enhancing courses.
