New and revised curricula
On this page, you can find help on how to revise your curriculum.
At Nat og Tech, curriculum can be revised once a year and must be published no later than 1 December of the year prior to the programme being offered.
On this page, you will find deadlines for working with curriculum, information about when a change requires a new curriculum, and contact information for colleagues who can help clarify any questions.
