Curious about how studying online works? Discover what it means to be an online student on this page.

Online studies is education online, without regular attendance at physical lectures or classroom lessons. The advantage of online studies is that you have the freedom to adapt the studies to fit in your everyday life.

Studying online is becoming more and more common. The quality of this education model is the same as on our campuses, and the diploma you receive after graduation is identical to the campus students.

Online students learn to work independently and effectively, which in themselves are attractive skills in your future work life. As an online student you get access to a digital classroom where you get an informative overview of your online study environment. In the digital classroom you will find everything from teaching materials and assignments, and you can use discussion forums for communication between fellow students and teachers.

The delivery of online studies at the Higher Vocational College and Bachelor's level is different. As a bachelor student, the lectures are streamed live from campuses.

For our Higher Vocational College Studies, the learning material is pre-produced. You will work on practical tasks and acquire practical skills relevant to the industry. Our Higher Vocational Education can be completed full-time or part-time.

The online studies are designed for students who need flexibility in their everyday life, and is designed to teach you the same competence that a physical campus education would.

For our Higher Vocational College studies, you can apply for start-ups in August, October, January or March, whichever works best for you and your schedule.

Our Bachelor Studies starts every August.

There is no application deadline for online studies, but continuous admission. You can apply to online studies until one week after study start.

Do you find it difficult to choose between campus and online studies? From August 2023, you can have the best of both worlds through our new delivery model Online PLUS.

Online PLUS means that you can be an online student, and at the same time be part of the physical learning environment on campus Oslo. All teaching and guidance is online. You choose how you want to follow the lessons, whether it's at home, on campus or anywhere in the world. Read more about Online PLUS here.

The digital classroom offers great opportunities for a social student life online, if you wish. You are likely to find other students who are online in the digital classroom at the same time as you, and they can often be of great help if you are stuck in an assignment.

The digital classroom facilitates productive collaboration and discussions with your fellow online students, and many experience building new friendships and networks in their studies. You are not alone even if you study from home.

This flexible study method allows online studies to be adapted to your life situation and your busy schedule. At the same time, online studies will also require discipline and good planning, and can in some ways can be compared to a full-time job.
