Noroff University College

Hands-on digital education at university and university college level is becoming a benchmark and a desire for many employers within advanced IT and digitally driven industries.

As industries and technology change at a rapid pace, the need for candidates with both broad and deep knowledge, desirable technical abilities and professional communication and collaboration competence is more sought after than ever.

Competition for the best people is fierce and we strive to raise that standard even further. We offer bachelor’s degrees in Computing and Interactive Media through our campus in Kristiansand and Oslo. All studies are available as online studies and OnlinePLUS. All lectures are streamed live.

Forward. Beyond. Qualified. Researching. Fearless. Our underlying academic philosophy is not conservative in its essence, it is based on curiosity.

Our students learn to conduct research and development work within their field. In our forward-thinking practice we plan for the next breakthrough. In the digital industry the status quo is challenged every nanosecond. This is why we are closely associated with business and relevant industries and bring in guest lecturers who add real-time learning to the degrees.

A qualification from Noroff University College will not become a dusty document that is requested with your CV once every decade. It will become one of the most important tools for lifelong learning and your future career.
