Embrace the Norwegian lifestyle
Work-life balance is sacred in Norway, and this balance is also reflected in student life. Outside of the classrom you will find student associations for any activity, allowing you to enjoy an active lifestyle as a student. With forest-covered hills, mountains, deep fjords and urban parks, this is the place to find your favourite outdoor activity.
Benefit from quality education
Norway’s higher education institutions are home to modern facilities, ground-breaking research in several fields and cutting-edge technologies. With hands-on learning experiences, you will be prepared for a bright future.
Build your career
Norwegians pride themselves on having an innovative workplace; we believe that flat organisations, a competent workforce and egalitarian values stimulate innovation. After graduating in Norway you can stay and look for work for up to one year in an attractive labor market with low unemployment and high salaries. With a valid study permit, you can also work part time while studying.
