The HBV campuses lie in a part of Norway where you can enjoy much of what our grand nature can offer: skiing in Kongsberg, sailing in Vestfold, trekking in Ringerike and getting a sense of urban life in Drammen. The counties of Buskerud and Vestfold are centrally located in the South-Eastern part of Norway – never more than an hour’s drive to our capital, Oslo. Our central location is a pull for international students, but that is not the only reason why you should come just here.
Great Learning Environment
HBV is a newly merged university college, aspiring to be among Norway’s best higher educational institutions. We are ambitious, offer a wide range of well-run engaging programmes, and work to attract skilled students to updated modules and degrees of high educational value and quality. We offer an informal and study-friendly environment, and our campuses are relatively small with an open-door policy where we dedicate time and attention to each student.
Our aim is to provide premium conditions for your professional and personal development. We have exceptional teachers and researchers who work hard to communicate with their students, creating a good learning environment for all.
Learning and research cannot be isolated from practical life. We believe in sharing knowledge with the wider community to which we belong. Thus, we have established research cooperation and teaching affiliations with the international, regional, local industries and institutions.
Within technology, business, education, social sciences and the maritime industry you will find well-developed and future-oriented sectors that has inspired and will inspire current and future students to choose us as their educational partner. Our courses are focused on practical study methods with problem-based approaches which help students to prepare for real life situations. We emphasize the need of society’s demands on high quality education and follow suit on that requirement. That’s why you should be part of it.
Tuition Free
If you worry about paying high tuition – don’t worry! As for all public Norwegian higher educational institutions, HBV offers tuition free education, safe living and study environment and a multicultural society where English is widely spoken by the majority of locals.
