University of Oslo

ABOUT

The University of Oslo, sometimes known as UiO, was founded in 1813. It was Norway's most prominent and oldest higher education institution. Since then, it has achieved significant academic advances in law and science (mainly marine science) and liberated Norway from Denmark.

The original campus of UiO is situated close to the national assembly and the royal palace in the city's centre. From there, you can take the subway to its main campus in Blindern, near wooded hills with views of Oslo Fjord.

The university is the most critical research institution in Norway, and it is comprised of eight faculties: theology, law, medicine, humanities, mathematics and natural sciences, dentistry, social sciences, and education. Each faculty specialises in a different area of study. It provides nearly 800 courses taught entirely in English and 40 Master's degree programmes.

As a traditional institution with various academic subjects, the University of Oslo boasts leading research communities in most fields. In addition, UiO has eight National Centers of Excellence and a strategic emphasis on interdisciplinary research, particularly in energy and life sciences.
