Norway
The difference
Highest quality of life in the world
Norway has a strong tradition of equality and has created a high degree of gender, economic and social equality. Combined with its high level of economic development, this has resulted in Norway being consistently ranked by the UN as having the highest quality of life in the world.
The Norwegian economy is one of the most international in the world. Shipping and the offshore oil industry are typical examples of successful industries that are important areas of research at NHH.
Norwegian companies have developed a unique form of management, emphasising the quality of life of employees through participative management. This is combined with a focus on high technology and the production of high quality products. English is spoken as a second language in Norway, and many companies have adopted it as their corporate language.
A rugged, beautiful land
Deep fjords and valleys carved out during the last ice age and towering mountains dropping straight into the sea create a magnificent backdrop to Western Norway. An outdoor playground sits on the doorstep, offering a wide variety of activities throughout the year for those who enjoy being in the great outdoors.
This magnificent landscape, and the opportunities it provides, makes Norway a special place to live, study and work.
Bergen: historic city of trade
Founded in 1070, Bergen grew up around its colourful harbour and has been a hub of commerce, seafaring and craftsmanship ever since. Located between mountains and the Atlantic Ocean, the city has always looked outwards towards overseas markets. Bergen is a charming city with a relaxed atmosphere, old-fashioned North European architecture, cobblestone streets, an outdoor fish market and a Hanseatic harbour area (a UNESCO World Heritage Site). With over 30,000 students, Bergen is also a truly vibrant city, filled with outdoor bars and cafes, restaurants and nightclubs, and an active music scene.
