Oslo Metropolitan University (OsloMet), Norway

Oslo Metropolitan University (Oslomet; Norwegian: Oslomet – storbyuniversitetet) is a state university in Oslo and Akershus in Norway. It is the result of the merger of many former vocational colleges in the Greater Oslo Region.

One of OsloMet’s greatest strengths is our educational portfolio. With our institution home to degree programmes in teacher education, nursing, engineering—to name just a few—we are uniquely positioned to develop cutting-edge solutions to the challenges facing the welfare state.
