The Trondheim Academy of Fine Art (KiT) is organized as a flexible and experimental educational and research institution and well known as the first art academy in the Nordic countries to offer education in media art. Since 1996 the Academy has been part of The Faculty of Architecture and Fine Art at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). As Norway’s single largest university, NTNU has 39,000 students, distributed over 14 faculties and 70 departments, with more than 100 laboratories. Currently, the Trondheim Academy of Fine Art has 62 students: 34 BFA and 28 international MFA students. It hosts three research fellows and one PhD candidate. The Academy employs ten professors, five members of technical staff and three members of administrative staff. It is well connected to a small but vibrant local art scene with artist-run galleries, exhibition halls, and museums.
Situated in the framework of NTNU, it is embedded in a study environment, rich of inputs and influences from other areas of research and methodologies that are non-artistic.

The curriculum is structured to expose students to diverse viewpoints and an array of professional practices that reflect contemporary issues and is in dialogue with a global community of artists and thinkers.
