Sivilingeniør used to be a Norwegian university degree protected by Norwegian law issued to graduates from technical universities. To qualify for the title, you had to follow a structured study programme in technology and natural sciences of 4,5 – 5 years duration at a Norwegian university or university college. The old Sivilingeniør degree was considered by the Norwegian Institute of Technology (NTH) to be equivalent to a Master of science degree.
Graduates with a Bachelor of Science from British or Canadian university could, if the course was approved by the Engineering Council UK or Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board, apply for the right to use the title sivilingeniør in Norway. A holder of an ABET-accredited Bachelor of Science degree from the United States required half a year more education at graduate level to get the right to use the title.
