Our University College programmes combine practical and theoretical learning, developed in collaboration with industry to prepare you for a professional career.

Lectures are streamed live and available as recordings, giving you flexibility while following a structured academic programme.

These programmes are practical and career-focused, developed together with industry partners. You will work on real-world projects and tools used in the industry.

Study full-time or part-time depending on your situation, and build specialised skills for the job market.

Want the flexibility of online studies combined with access to a physical learning environment? Online PLUS gives you the best of both worlds. You study online, while also having access to campus facilities in Oslo or Bergen.

All teaching and supervision take place online, but you can choose to follow your studies from home, on campus, or from anywhere else in the world. The offer applies to all of our bachelor's programmes.

By being part of a physical study environment, you can take part in group work, discussions, social events, guest lectures, and industry events. This can strengthen both your learning experience and your professional network.

As an Online PLUS student, you can:

• Use Noroff’s campus facilities during daytime, evenings, and weekends
• Access study spaces, group rooms, labs, and social areas
• Take part in social events arranged on campus
• Attend guest visits and selected academic activities on campus
• Join industry events and connect with potential employers
• Become part of the wider student environment in Oslo or Bergen

Online studies are completed digitally, without requiring you to attend classes in person. As an online student, you get access to a digital classroom where you will find learning materials, assignments, project information, and communication tools for staying in touch with lecturers and fellow students.

Online studies give you the flexibility to study from anywhere and structure your learning around your life situation. This makes online education a strong choice for career changers, working professionals, international students, and anyone looking for a more flexible study experience.

Noroff places strong emphasis on academic quality, practical relevance, and up-to-date learning resources. Depending on the programme, online students may follow the same teaching and curriculum as campus students. The final qualification is the same as the one awarded to students who complete the equivalent programme on campus.
