Norway

Norway is one of the three Scandinavian countries in the Northern part of Europe. With a population of 4,9 million Norway is not among the most crowded places on the planet. But we very much enjoy the space and our diverse nature, and visitors are often astonished by Norwegians’ active way of life. So don’t get surprised if your Norwegian friends insist on going hiking, even if the weather maybe is more suitable for staying in the sofa.
Explore the unknown and challenge your own limits – the people of Norway has never been afraid of going their own ways. A thousand years ago the Vikings sailed their ships south to the Mediterranian, east to the Black Sea and all the way west to Greenland, and many historians claim they even made it to New Foundland in North America.
Today, Norway is a modern country where our explorative mindset is geared towards technology, innovation and developing a knowledge based society. We also continue to further develop our oil & gas industry, fisheries and traditional industrial areas.
Norway is an attractive prospect when it comes to overseas education owing to its buoyant economy and top-notch education system, offering flexible and affordable study options. With its myriad of mesmerizing landscapes, restaurants and cultural hangouts, you will be spoilt for choice.

The Nerwegion Education System

The Norwegian system of higher education comprises all the institutions and/or programmes that are accredited. With the exception of some private university colleges, all higher education institutions are state-run. In general, tuition is not required for study at Norwegian higher education institutions, although fees may be imposed for certain professional education programmes, further and special education programmes and studies at private institutions.

In addition to their teaching activities, all the higher learning institutions, and particularly the universities, are responsible for conducting basic research as well as researcher training, primarily by means of graduate-level studies and doctoral degree programmes.

Since 2003 Norway has been following the objectives of the Bologna process in the European higher education. Most of the elements have been implemented through the Quality Reform. Central to the reform has been implementation of a 3 + 2 + 3 degree system with a Bachelor’s, Masters and Ph.D. structure following the European standards
